WAK Guitars Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 (edited) Wierd. It might be that you didnt completely cover the back with white and that some of the wood coming through is making it look pink. Do you have any pictures? Good Luck.

WezV Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 what wood is underneath the white? sometimes oily woods can discolour the white as i found out on a guitar i did with a white headstock recently. i sprayed it over some rosewood and it turned a funny colour within a few days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copperhead Posted July 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 ash body -sanding sealer -grey primer-white paint and nitro lacquer ..the pink is in the lacquer i sanded it back to the paint which was fine and started to spray the lacquer on again seems like when the lacquer starts getting on heavy spots its turns pink i was wondering if i could add another coat of white paint or maybe get something to keep this project going ahead cause thereis almost enough coats of lacquer on the guitar about 3 or 4 more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihocky2 Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 What brand of lacquer are you using and what type and brand of paint did you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copperhead Posted July 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 deft nitro lacquer and krylon acrylic gloss white Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihocky2 Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 I have done 2 guitars and many projects with Deft and never had a problem. I have never used it over Krylon, so I don't know if there are any incompatability issues or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlennon Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 Did you fill any screwholes or similar with a 2-part filler? sometimes the hardener can bleed through the paint and cause pinkish spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
