<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 2951640, member: 37"]Can't help you with a style name. I have not seen these before or at least did not pay attention when I did. The finish on these is a bit tricky since it probably includes a toner, a stain, the speckled treatment, and a top coat of lacquer. Touching up is probably best done with a minimalist approach. A little stain to color in scratches and a coat of paste wax would be about it. If the finish is deteriorated overall, something like Howard's Restor-A-Finish or just a wipe on clear-coat might help. The results might be less than satisfactory so paint could be an option. The metal can be cleaned with soap and water. anything that doesn't come off with soap and water can probably be removed with mineral spirits. Once clean, apply a coat of paste wax or, if ambitious, mask off and spray with a clear lacquer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
