After a long time thinking about it I finally ordered a RCA-4 kit yesterday. It's currently on back order and I am in the states so it may be a while until it gets to me. This is good as it gives me some time to plan and prep things.

I would like to do a gloss black or, depending on the grain, a mapleglo/natural finish. Black would be ideal but living in a small apartment I'm not really setup for a spray job. I doubt I can get a gloss black from stain type finish. 4003s are all maple I believe so does anyone know if the mapleglo finish has any sort of color added to it or is it just a clear finish over the maple?
