Painting New Body


Recommended Posts

Hey all. Want to build a guitar but want to practice first. Let's say I want to paint a new body with no previous painting. Say I just want it blue, no other colors for this example.

1) Sand it and make sure the whole thing is smooth.

2) Apply sealer

3) Sand the sealer (why do I do this?)

4) Apply primer (do I have to?)

5) Apply coats of blue paint

6) Apply clear coat (this protects it, right?)

Have I got some of that right? Thanks all,

You're missing an essential step --post this in the proper section: the finishing section. You're more likely to get a response from the people who focus on that part of things. There's also tons of information there, chances are you'll find your answer without even needing a response.

Maybe a mod can move this for you.
