The original stuff definitely has something in it that gives it a "texture". A friend of mine had a can of it (original lacquer) that I borrowed to give to the guy who painted the last T/A I restored. He didn't realize it was supposed to come out textured, and sanded it off twice trying to get it to be "flat"....
