Color Matching Interior Wood - MC1600 - 12-13-2021
Since purchasing our ‘99 4000 A year and a half ago, I’ve now had a couple instances where I’ve had to try and match the interior stain finish. This started when I built a panel in that corner cabinet for a flat screen TV. Most recently, the ending on the door to our head started peeling off, so that needs a repair too.
Since most easy-to-source plywood or edging is very light, it’s hard to get the right color combination for matching. After a lot of trial and error, here’s what I think works best:
1. Golden Oak stain. This is a VERY quick wipe on and off as much as you can. All you’re trying to do is get the grain to pop.
2. Cherry stain. This adds just a bit of depth to the color and almost a gray.
3. Cetol. Yes, the same stuff you use to protect teak. Paint it on and let it dry. This also bring in a bit of yellow/orange to the wood.
4. Satin Poly. Use as directed.
Not going to claim it’s perfect, and if anyone has process improvements, please let me know, but it definitely meets the “10’ or 10 knots” rule!

Sikkens Cetol in the yellow can is what matches up on my boat. I installed a new ac unit last year and had to make a plug to cover up the old control cutout. Color matched up perfectly.
