I'm working on a large built-in for a client that she wants to match to her existing kitchen cabinets.  Her cabinets are stained a dark mahogany.  In the past I've sprayed numerous light coats of an alcohol based stain to achieve the color I was looking for.  However, I want to get away from doing that since I'm working out of my garage.  I would like to stick with water based products.  This built-in has some large panels so I want to stay away from hand applying the finish.  Any suggestions?  Should I tint the lacquer I'm spraying?  I've done that in the past and it has worked out okay.  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Are you talking about spraying an aniline water based dye or a commercial water based stain?

Do you know the stain that was used on her existing cabinets?

Have you considered some of the Behlen/Mohawk tinting colors that come in spray cans and are pretty convenient to use. They can be used to adjust the tone of a finish very nicely.

Best,
