Yet another grain filling question

[chubs]

I have a Black Korina body to paint, it will be a transparent finnish, to me the pores in the wood look black, should I tint the grain filler black to maintain a natural look?

 

[Cagey]

They're not all black. I'd use a clear grain filler (or Z-Poxy) so the natural color shows through, regardless of what it is.

Black will add dimension to other grains too.  Clear will also work well

I will look to see what epoxy I can get locally, doubt anyone would ship that kind of thing internationally
