Steve, I have thought about that, might look good, or maybe I could apply a "Heywood Wakefield" type of Limed Oak Lacquer.
Sometimes Fiberboard can soak up paint like a sponge leaving a rough looking finish, perhaps Primer or Sealer is the trick to fix that.

Here's a shot of my Wynnwood after painting it, Black Lacquer is the original finish on this set, it really sets off the Brass accents, some of which are not reinstalled in this photo.
