New Finish (please help)

Hey Guys (my very first post :D)

So i've got a Warwick Streamer STD 5 (fretless). It's almost 5 years old and has a few scratches. That's why i wanted to remove the mat black and give it a fancy natural oil finish but thats easier said than done and my experience with this stuff is almost non existent (i'm 17).
So my question is: is there anything special i must look out for when I do that? When I put the finish on will it just like the wood (Carolena wood wich is almost the same as Swamp Ash) ? or will it even get a little bit darker or brighter?
I hope someone can answer my questions. :-))
