I tried the Krylon flat black with a matte topcoat. It turned out quite well, but I'm a bit concerned about its durability. The waveguide now doesn't fit in it's opening and while trying to make it fit, I managed to cause bits of the black to flake off, showing the white primer underneath (see the lower picture). I may add a few coats of General Finish High Performance flat poly after I fix this new problem. Still, good progress. Next time, I'll try the milk paint. I love General Finish products. I'll use the semi-gloss High Performance on the cherry veneer, over dewaxed shellac to highlight the grain and darken it up a bit.
