ravelle Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 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, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
another doug Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 I am no finishing expert, but I have done it, so: 1- Those steps are extremely vague. They make sense, but you need a lot more info. What products do you plan on using? What kind of wood? What grits of sandpaper? Grainfiller? etc. etc. 2- There is a ton of information on finishing available on this forum, as Mickguard told you yesterday. You should also check out reranch.com. They also have a ton of info, and sell products that will work together. 3- This is the 3rd identical thread on this subject! If you're that desperate, just bump the old one rather than starting a new one every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
