Thread: How Many Coats Nitro/ Poly

It is an age old argument, and is a personel preference.
check this thread from an airbrush/ custom paint site, it has a really good explanation of both processes, and the pros and cons of both.
Great site with heaps of info

here's a interesting read ---> Vintage Guitars Info - Fender custom color finishes on vintage Fender guitars

Thanks Jeff and UZJ40, those sites were helpful.

Also, If anybody who has recently done a solid colour finish on
a guitar could share their experience with what they did
and used that would be great.

Cheers,

Check out the bass I recently completed it's a 1970's Plymouth color Claret Red Metallic. Yep that's right I used lacquer auto paint - worked like a champ The hardest part was letting it hang for 2 weeks so it would completely dry

This is a post of mine from another forum that was actually covering grain filling but I did go over my process for spraying a solid colour guitar - It may be of help
