Yes, you could spray on the rustolium, Gary, and I think I'm interpreting Wim properly here (correct me if I'm not), to say that it's not something to be recommended. The results would be unacceptable by most if not all standards, and (presuming you didn't get any paint where it shouldn't be), it would make the finish aspect of your piano worthless. Even an old, alligatored, etc. walnut finish beats a quick cover-up spray can finish. William R. Monroe Of course that's for a professional looking finish, You can also go down to the hardware store and buy a couple of can of black Rustolium, and just spray away.

The walnut finish could stand to be done over again. These pianos were also available in an ebony finish when new. How would one apply an ebony finish to my piano?
