Yea a sand through would be really annoying though I still have dye left so I could fix it, but I’d much rather not have to!Ah, cool, if you are sanding between coats then more is good, there is nothing worse than sanding through
It is looking amazing, I can’t believe it’s the same guitar as the sunburst pic, never would have thought all that figure was hiding there, top job mate.
Yeah. I could live there.The view is quite good!
Put the final coat on. And OF COURSE in the final coat some lacquer dripped from the threads of the canister and dropped onto the back of the headstock. Easy to sand off but would’ve been nice to have no issues with the spraying. The lacquer lay down really smoothly for the final three passes, way less orange peeling than the initial coats. This product was great and really forgiving, no drips or bluing and dry to the touch in 5 minutes. And now I get to play the waiting game for 2-3 weeks.
General Finishes High Performance Gloss Polyurethane. In all used about 1/4 gallon, not sure what my overspray situation was. 13 coats in total. Used a 1.4 tip size on my sprayer, might’ve used a 1.0 if I owned one.
Waiting the lacquer to cure is painful. Decided to see how it’s eventually look with some hardware on it.
Also wanted to change the color of the tremolo arm tip, I thought it should match the pickup rings rather than be black. Scuffed the plastic with 220 and mixed some acrylic paint to match the color. I figure I can put a few coats on then finely sand out the brush strokes and put a couple coats of clear on top.
