Title: Maple Cabinet tint matching - '03 Contessa
Post by: Jim Houghton on May 19, 2015, 12:10:16 AM

Removed the old TV cabinet and have replaced the entire front section. Completed and now trying to match the original tint as close as possible. Does anyone know the shade or tint used on the maple cabinets for the 03 Contessa? They have a slight yellowish tint which is either a tinting or a result of almost 12 years yellowing of the varnish.

Thanks  Jim

Jim,
I tried to match the light yellow maple in my 01 Contessa and was unable to find a matching stain at the home improvement stores . I then took a drawer to Sherman Williams and they mixed up a quart that matched perfectly.

Thanks for the suggestion. Went there and they had what appears to be a match and will now get on with my project.
