If you want the best then you need to speak to Chapman and Cliff. Can't remember the exact cost as I got everything done but it was not overly cheap. That said the finish is great and very original looking. They had the added advantage of being about 20 mins away from me so I could go along and see their workshop.

Oh my word, they charge £385 to re-lacquer a Dolomite set, off to Wilko's to spend £30 for glass paper and a tin of satin varnish for me then!

In that case squire, veneer and lacquering is a steal at £545!
In saying that, I'm sure that they do an absolutely amazing job that far surpasses the original mass produced BL finish.

I had my dash + capping re-veneered by a lady in Scotland - Pm me for details. Have a look at the attached short cut - will be surprised about the price.
