Sorry for the delay, I posted an entire "thought" last night, only to find out it never posted :(
So here goes again. I may break this into two parts, in case it was too long.
Here is the part number for my clear coat for my lower cabinets from a SW Products & Finishes Facility. I am told you can call and order by phone and they ship too, if you're not as fortunate to live close by a location like I do. See my previous post on how to locate a SW Products & Finishes Store. The guys that work there are great and very knowledgable about coatings.
Sayerlack Hyrdoplus in Satin by SW is the product
My Part Number : A98XXW7225-8456 (the last 4 digits tells a SW employee what store it was mixed at in case they have questions)
As always, it could look different on your wood, in your lighting, in your house, and on your product...but this was where we ended up. I believe the ratio was something like 20 parts clear to 1 part white - in case some of you would rather try it on your own with your own product. The product is very nice, and we had professional painters spray our cabinets. I am very pleased with how they turned out.
Since the most all-consuming part of the project for us was the selecting, testing, trial, error, and sampling of stains, it has been on my heart to post ours once we narrowed it down. We worked closely with SW to correct (or add) or thin, or re-try...and I realize that is an advantage I have living close by a store...but with the right product. One could start out with VERY minimal white paint and add it to their clear coat until they find the right ratio.
