Nitefly SA Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 sand it to a usable, flat surface and you can paint right over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sumphead Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 What exactly went wrong? Maybe we can help prevent it fron happening again. Also, what types of paint are you using. I recall your previous post, did you go all the way down to the wood or just through the previous finish? One of the greatest things to know while painting is that you starting surface be as perfect as can be as any flaws there will always show in the finished product.

R- i used some cotton swab to try and touch up a small area of paint which went under the masking tape and when i tried to touch it up, the paint went right to the wood! which didnt make much sense, but i tried to correct it but it turned into a mess! then i tried to sand the body down but the paint is clearly not cured. dry but not cured and making it really difficult to sand down! i need to get a new body now! anyone know where i can get a new jackson js1 body!!! or does anyone know someone who might be able to sand this body down for me for a price? im was using 180 grit sand paper and i kept ripping the sheets with the electric sander. -dom Edited December 18, 2006 by buredf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marzocchi705 Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 wait for a week or too, give the paint time to cure, then sand it off. Or you could use a scraper. Either is gona take time to get to flat surface. The worst thing you can do here is rush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
