Incidentally, I just found that Northwest guitars do a water based top coat in gloss or satin, but it's hidden in their "Water based stains" section. @darrenking, for what it's worth they even have a ...

I think a key thing to remember when choosing between 1K acrylic and 2K (at least for me because my desire for "the best" has a tendency to pull me towards 2K despite its practical issues) is that Nit...

But I wonder, has anyone out there in GMUK land used 1K acrylics on an acoustic build? @darrenking I don’t know, I’ll try and find out though.

1K Acrylic paints and clears for guitar building mortals is the way to go. Thanks Boo, But I wonder, has anyone out there in GMUK land used 1K acrylics on an acoustic build?

Not so much!!I think my lungs probably have enough to cope with dealing with dust so upping the ante with chemical poisons might just be a step too far! 1K acrylic here I come! @darrenking I might a...

Are you still interested? Not so much!!I think my lungs probably have enough to cope with dealing with dust so upping the ante with chemical poisons might just be a step too far! 1K acrylic here I...

@russ Sorry, I forgot the link. 😂 Her you go.

@russ You can use this for getting a matt finish on a guitar neck, it will be smooth to the touch but with a matt appearance. Another way is to spray the whole neck with a full gloss clear and leave ...

Watch this video He is using spray guns but it’s the same paints as it is in the rattle cans, the principle is the same.

Yes 2k clear is awesome

They could have already damaged my health over the years and I wouldn’t mindlessly advise anyone to use them without a warning. Hopefully not @boo. Take care and Thanks again. 🎶🙂&#x...

You are our Go To Paint Guru. @russ I am not an expert by any means but I have used a lot of car paints and the accompanying products. I don’t know everything but more than most average people I supp...

Thanks for your advice @boo. You are our Go To Paint Guru. 👍🎨🖌️😁 🙏🎸🙂🎶

@russ and @darrenking Right, first of all a warning. WARNING ⚠️ 2K paint products are extremely dangerous and hazardous to health, you need to wear the correct PPE to protect yourself f...

Hi Boo, could you share some brands and the suppliers for the 2K products you use please? cheers Darren

@russ Probably a polyurethane clear with a matt binder in it. Cheers @boo. Have you got any recommendations? 🙏🎸🙂🎶

I have used rattle spray oil based polyurethane and wipe on poly as well. Works perfectly well and gasses off faster in half the time as lacquer but I find not as better in result. @clinton This is w...

Can I ask if anyone knows what finish Fender use on the back of their necks to make them so smooth? @russ Probably a polyurethane clear with a matt binder in it.
