Tidalwavetiburon Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 Does anyone know how I would go about getting my guitar this color (Satin Black). I can't tell if this is a dye, stain, or a what. http://www.digitalplayroom.com/esp/images/ec2005_lg.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidalwavetiburon Posted March 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 satin clear over satin black paint Would this be possible to do with the dreaded Rattle cans or do you need a whole paint gun system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maiden69 Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 If that's what you want, just take it to a car shop and tell them that you want it painted on black primer. I think that the whole satin base satin clear is not necessary for this finish. You want a matte finish, you can attain this with spray, but I would rather get it done with a gun.

You could use flat black, then satin clear in spray cans. Since satin finish is not ussually buffed you need to apply several coats then flat sand and apply the last coat. It will probably take 1 can of black for the body and 3-4 cans of clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maiden69 Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 The problem with satin colors from cans is that the actual rubbing of the body-hand-etc will create a shine on it... this finish is not strong enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
