uglogirl Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Hi... I'm finishing a nitro body and I've made some painted on purfling with cream enamel. I know I can shoot nitro over enamel I just never did it before and I'm wondering how long I should let it cure? thanks, Uglogirl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlGeeEater Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 The EVH I did was Duplicolor engine enamel under the Duplicolor clear. I will tell you one thing, the EVH STILL is soft. I can dent it so easily. If you do it, make sure the body hands in a HOT room with some ventilation. I am actually going to strip it down and spray it with McFaddens now. EVH Pic Good luck!

OK there were a few problems... like the body broke in half... but other than that it was quite successful the cream enamel looks just like a plastic binding. I have 8 coats of duplicolor acrylic over it right now and am planning on putting 8 more, maye 12? wow your evh looks classy. :-) Did you do something special to the bridge and jack they look kinda patina-y. Very nice. Uglogirl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
