hypnotekk Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 hi, recently my beloved Warwick Corvette pro-line 4-string sustained some minor damage in a fire. Luckily it was superficial, but i had to strip its beutiful finish down to bare wood. Does anyone know how i can attain roughly similar results to the original finish? It is maple body, and was according to Warwick, a water based stain (mahogany colour) with a polyeurethane satin topcoat. The staining isnt a problem, but im not sure weather to use poleurethane, or maybe try french polish over the stain? I have spoken to guitar repair shops, and they tell me i need "special" machinery to apply the stain and topcoat, and then try and charge me £400 quid to do the job for me. any advice would be greatly appreciated, as i dont have 400 quid.

scottyd Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 What your repair shops is telling you is rubbish. You can get great results yourself for much less. Minwax makes a satin poly spraypaint that is fairly easy to spray. They also have any color stain you want too. Of course there are a lot of other brands out there that do just as well even better. Ive had pretty good results with the Minwax products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
