Rustic Cherry stain. Trying to match.

[Cindy & Ray Keen]

Has anyone ever matched the stain on the rustic cherry cabinets and trim? We have the 2015 31SL. If so, what brand and the name, or was it a custom match, which I may have to do. Thanks.

When we changed out our fridge, we had to create a match for the trim also. I believe my wife did it using multiple layers of different colors. When she returns from her vacation, I will check with her.

We have a kit from MinWax. There are three or four color "pens". You start with the lightest and work your way up to a darker color until the original is matched. Just did some touch up yesterday and it came out surprisingly well.

DW recoated the dining table top & dresser top in the bedroom & used Minwax stain with urethane in Pecan color, it may be just a tad darker, but both look very good. Don't know that I would use that color for just touch up, but if covering a large surface I think I would have to point it out for anyone to notice.

I am not at home right now but have a can of the same stain used by the factory. Send me an email (coljdm60@gmail.com) and I will send you all of the information. As I recall it was pricey for a quart but looks good. I refinished the kitchen table top as well as the two end tables in the living room. Plan to do it again shortly (Grand Kids and Dogs, what can I say!!)

It is hell getting old, would have this sooner if I remembered. Here is more information from the label:

Wiping Stain, Praline/Butternut, QSTPR
Manufactured by: RPM Wood Finishes Group, Inc, Hudson NC
Their website is www.rpmwfg.com; The website for the stain can be found on their site or try www.mowhawk-finishing.com
Phone number is 828-261-0325 toll free number 800-545-0047. I went on the mowhawk site and searched for the stain, could not get a positive result but I could have not conducted the search properly.

Normally a couple of coats, hand applied pretty well matches the wood in the coach. I use a combination of finishes, on the stair trim, I used a wax finish for the one piece that joins the stairs to the carpet, for the table tops, I use clear acrylic (6 coats all hand sanded) for other areas I use an acrylic satin finish. Whatever finish you use is purely up to your personal preference.
