I have a 1978 Royale 26 foot with the Walnut cabinets. When I first got my
coach, the roof leaked, and water had stained the cabinet drawer fronts and
doors. I removed them all, and put them in my heated shop and dried
everything out. I sanded them all with 220 grit, followed by 600 grit. Then
blew everything with compressed air. I used shellac as the base color, and
it matched the cabinets very well. Shellac is absolutely water proof but
not alcohol proof. So, after the shellac was dry, I scuffed it with green
scotchbrite and tack cloth wiped the pieces, then followed that with satin
finish exterior polyurethane. 2 coats. That was in 2008. They still look
great.
