Repairing Zebrano Wood

This idea is NOT mine and is being hijacked from a previous threat.
In any case I did not really want to pay for the refurbished pieces from Ebay or what not so I decided to take on the challenge.

Total cost less than $25 smackers.
Materials: Veneer Edging, Crazy Glue, Dab of Stainer, Lacquer Spray

Process:
Apply Crazy Glue as applicable on cracks and blisters of existing Zebrano Piece.
Install Veneer Edging on missing and ripped Zebrano sections.
Mask off existing Zebrano MB lacquer coat.
Stain Veneer and play around with different tones to match original MB Zebrano tone.
Spray Lacquer on Veneer sections to build up enough volume to match existing MB finish. (take your time and apply thin coats every 2 hours or so) "I did this process for 5 days."
Remove tape mask.
Wet Sand entire Zebrano piece to a smooth finish.
Apply another 5 thin coats over the entire piece.
Reinstall and play. 8)

From my experience in this procedure I realized that matching the Veneer color to the existing Zebrano prior to the lacquer is what is key!

Next will be the main Console. and NO the piece being shown is still not finished..I plan on sanding once more to remove any evidence of patch..

Thanks
