I have eight dining chairs with an opaque pigmented finish.  They

are smooth with no trace of woodgrain.  The finish does not remove

easily with lacquer thinner and feels hard to the touch.  From the

customer's point of view the only problem is the chipped finish.

She wants them redone in the exact color.

I want something more durable than NC lacquer.  Conversion

varnish and precat lacquer come to mind. 

If I choose not to strip the chairs what primer and finish would

you suggest?
