UnivoxHighFlyer Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 Hey, I'm refinishing a strat style guitar bldy and the headstock as well. I've got the body cleaned and there's no paint left on it. I just sprayed a sanding sealer or whatever on it and I have no clue what to do next. I've got a nitro white primer, Lake Placid Blue nitro paint, nitro clear coat, and some polishing stuff. Is there anything else i need!? Please help me and guide me through this! Thanks!

oz tradie Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 Now is the perfect time for you to immerse yourself in the wonders of the pinned tutorials in the 'Inlay & finishing 'section Have you read those? If not, do so and you too shall find the wealth of information stored within. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know its pretty simple right? Sand, seal, sand, prime, sand, base, sand, clear coat, sand polish? Is that right? I'm just really not sure!

Drak Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 If you don't want to read our tutorials, then go to ReRanch and read their 'finishing 101 basics' section, it's pretty well spelled out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

custom22 Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 Definately read everything on www.reranch.com, and also check out their forum at www.reranch.com/reranch , as it is loaded with info more oriented towards DIY finishing.

Southpa Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 You can also find it from every perspective and angle right here in the archives. Of course, there is a bit of sorting to do. It depends on what specific search words you use, But I've learned a lot of tips n' tricks as well as a general idea on what to expect from my efforts. I also think there is just as much to learn from reading about the failures. Yes, there definitely IS an ugly side to guitar building.

UnivoxHighFlyer Posted October 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 Just finished my Lake Placid Blue Strat and it looks and sounds amazing!!! Thanks for the searching tips, although I didn't really look for any help on the internet, I just sort of did it alone and somehow it turned out great.
