@koendb I still think it’s definitely harder to spray a guitar (or anything) with rattle cans than it is with a spray gun I think it s something I will probably invest time and money in at a certain moment,…   Read more»

@koendb What? Where? @mattbeels made perfect sense? I’m still looking. Where?  

LOL ! 🤣 

That makes perfect sense @mattbeels @koendb What? Where? @mattbeels made perfect sense? I’m still looking. Where? 🤣      If you have to stop spraying and continue later it’s a good idea before you start again in earnest to first…   Read more»

@koendb If you have to stop spraying and continue later it’s a good idea before you start again in earnest to first give it a mist coat which is a very light coat. This will “warm up” the previous coats of lacquer…   Read more»

Thanks for all the comments guys it is really appreciated. @boo  and @koendb  Most stuff came from Tonetech Manchester, just the tomato Red from R&F Golden yellow water based stain to pull the flame out a bit. Then the sealer…   Read more»

Yep it is, however, I will stick with the filler I have now and train my patience @koendb Are you painting or clear coating the neck for this guitar? You could grain fill that whilst you are waiting for the…   Read more»

@koendb Thanks, I often just stare at them in amazement that these bodies are made of Pine. You cannot even tell that they are cheap wood. Goes to show, you do not need to spend a fortune making a solidly…   Read more»

then sanding it back after I get some more 320 grid, clean with naphta, followed by a few coats of sanding sealer. Reapply a few coats of primer. Does that sound right? @koendb It looks like you have applied quite…   Read more»

@koendb Your guitar is looking great by the way. Sanding and finitting is tedious and more difficult than expected sometimes. At least when a guitar is being painted, we can use fillers, primers etc to hide things that we missed…   Read more»

@koendb If you want to get rid of the imperfections you’ll have to do that before proceeding. If you leave them they’ll still be visible no matter how much lacquer you apply. I’m no finishing expert (yet 😉) but I’d…   Read more»
