Painting Stations

[6_String_Fiend]

Hello again! I have successfully sanded my guitar and now am looking for any suggestions on what i should use for my painting station. Should I hang my guitar from the cieling, buy/build a box that i could lean it up against, or any other suggestion?

Also, which type of paint would be the best to use from your own personal experiences?

Thanx again!

are you spraying inside or out side.

if you spray out side bring insde and let dry after each coat of finish.

you need to hang it to dry

use the neck to hold onto when you spray the body when the body is dry then switch and hold the body to spray the neck.

be sure your spray gun is clean well. I say this because it happened to me using a dirty gun.

remeber to spray fininsh on a scrap wood first to get the hang of how your gun is working.

stew mac has some nice stains to add to your finish that will make them a solid color please check them out.

take your time

There is no simple answer as to what paint to use. There a couple factors involved first. What are you using to spray with? Rattle cans, spray gun? What type of clear are you using? Nitro, acrylic, waterbased, one part poly, two-part poly? Laquers and poly's donb't like each other, so that will eliminate a lot of paint choice depending which way you go. As for rattle cans I personally like either Dupli-Color or Plastikote lines of automotive paint. This is an acrylic laquer. I clear it over with DEFT Nitro. I've had no problems with them and have gotten nice results.
