I have (or will have, rather) a couple new-to-me guns that I'd like to refinish.
I plan on sanding down, staining, and finishing with a varnish/lacquer.

First question is about the stains. On one I'm going for a good natural color (I know color of the wood will define what color stain will compliment it best) and on the other one I want to give it a purple/pink tone for when I'm feeling fruity (kidding, its a birthday present for my 13yo sister).
What brands/types/colors should I look at?

Second question... what's a good product to finish them with?


I've got some experience with refinishing wood, but only with the work itself not with the product selection part of it.

Thanks in advance
