For painted projects that have lots of holes, I would use spray paint. Either an rattle can or an air brush system.
If you want different colors in different places you can mask off areas with tape. just be sure to dry completly between colors.

if you want to stain, you can dip the project in the liquid stain and let it drip dry. There are colored stains as well as the wood colored ones. Or something like food coloring or RIT dyes on a previous thread.

Hello mrsn,

I am here in Italy and the only thing I could find was a soluble powder to be dissolved in hot water teak color. I tried to immerse the key and does not seem a good result. Then they gave me a clear acrylic spray paint and I still try to use it ...

But you, and Steve gl'altri what you use?? Airbrush?? These are things that I find to abandon Italy??

Someone from Germany that can tell me a place online to buy?

The simplest way would be to DIP it in Danish Oil, let it drip dry and spray off excess with air.
Rub it down after the oil dries!

not believe it but in the country bal ... there is no one who has this Danish Mo! Even know what we talk about it much less water-based fixatives.

Is there anyone from Europe who knows where to buy online?
