<HTML>Hi list,  I have a small grand I'm rebuiding / refinishing for a customer.It was painted white years back,and the white is in the pores of the wood.I have it stripped down to the wood,and the wood is milky looking,from the paint.I have decided to paint it black,and was debating on grain filling,versus some sort of bondo product.A friend of mine said I would not have to do either,as the paint is already in the grain.I have not stirpped the inside of the case,and it has some cracks,should I fill it,or strip and go from there? Thanks again, Hazen Bannister</HTML>
