oreodunk Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Hey all, i am new to this forum but i joined so i can obtain more knowledge. My guitar is sunburst in colour and from what i have read, i must strip til bare wood through using sand papers.( Anyone mind telling me when to use how much grits of sand paper? Thanks) So when i got the body into bare wood, what do i do first? Spray a base coat or spray some laqeur? So when i spray a coat of my desired colour, do i put on laqeur and sand it down(how much grit do i need to use?) ? Or should i spray more coats of colour instead of 1 before putting on laqeur and sand it down? Yeah, i just need to know about stripping and painting first, i'll ask about polishing when i get the job done :O Another question is when i want to do complicated designs, do i use graphite pens to draw them or i cut bits by bits of template paper and paint spray it? Lets say if the body i painting consist of 5 kinds of colour, so i need to paint all colour on the body before laqeur and sanding? Or do i have to do 1 colour first and then do another colour and sand the whole thing? Sorry for being such a newbie.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oreodunk Posted March 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 (edited) What does wet sanding mean? Soaking the sand paper in baby oil/water/mineral salts overnight and sand it like a sandpaper? And what does primer and seam means? Sorry im a newbie..
