I used a Duplicolor acrylic lacquer clear. You can get it in either 2 stage or in a can. They are both the same, pretty much. If you use an acrylic lacquer clear, make sure your primer and base coat are the same. Lacquer will dissolve enamel.

ah! i'm fimilar with the duplicolor, i take it you used enamel paint?

ohio_eric · 04-27-2007, 11:22 PM

Very nice!

But it takes a month for clear coar to dry enough to sand?

Donnie · 04-27-2007, 11:35 PM

Yep. Most clears actually don't become 100% solid for a whole year. And since wetsanding and buffing is where all the uber shine comes from, I want it to be as cured as possible. Otherwise it'll be all coudy.
If I had a way to safely bake the guitar, I could cut the time down to about a week. What I will be doing though is running our kiln up to about 1000-1500 degrees, crack the lid open about 2 inches and hanging the body nearby. Doing that will get the room it's in pretty dry and toasty. Probably around 125 degrees and it'll hold that for a good part of a day.

Nope. It's all acrylic lacquer paint(primer, color coat and clear).

Looking good.

zimbloth · 04-28-2007, 02:28 AM

Looks great. Are you going to put some decent pickups in it as well?

darren · 04-28-2007, 09:17 AM

That looks awesome. Almost like Blade Gray, but more sparkly.
