  1. Thank you for the help. Does it matter if it's oil-less or not? Meaning, is oil-less "better" as opposed to an oil compressor for painting?
  2. Just bought a compressor and a gun and I'm looking for some opinions on setting up my line. I will probably be painting no more than 3-5 guitars or so a year. With that said, to keep moisture and dirt ect..out of my finish, do I have to have an elaborate set up in my line with piping, drains, filter ect.. between my compressor and my gun? Or would I be OK with just a filter/regulator in the line and a filter at the gun? Thanks for any and all help!
  3. Yes you do need to apply a black base coat first and then apply the chrome. Do not sand the chrome. See ALSA's web site for directions on how to apply. They have a video demo of how to apply it.
  4. I'm going to be using their "killer Cans" and that's another problem i'm having, they don't make a primer to go with that line of paint. But what i'm looking for at the moment is a recommendationon on SEALER that would be compatible with urethane paints.
  5. You would think reading the manufaturers instructions would help, but no where do they give you guidance on/or mention sanding sealers.
  6. I'm going to be painting a guitar with a urethane type paint and of course need to seal the body. Can anyone recommend a sanding sealer that is compatible with urethane paints? Thanks
  7. Has anyone ever used the 2 part aerosol clear urethanes such as spraymax or areomax? What did you think of them? What type of paint do they work well with? I hear they provide an untra hard surface.
  8. can anyone recommend a good spray gun and compressor combination? Thanks
  9. Has anyone ever heard of these "paint Your Own Guitar" books? Thay have an ad in Guitar World, i'v seen them on the internet. Has anyone ever used them? Is there anything useful in em?
  10. I'm refinishing a bass guitar. I have the color coat wet sanded down with 2000 grit paper. Being new to this, I thought it would looked alot more shined up by now and with less scraches so I could go ahead with the clear coat, it's not. Whats my next step or do I have to get rid of all of those thousands of tiny little scraches before the clear coat? Thanks,any help would be great.
  11. Yeah,I didn't really plan on sanding it(The base coat) but I got some lint or something on there and tryed to sand it out. Any ideas for that situation? Thank you
  12. The same thing happend to me. I was using dupli-color for my base coat, started to sand with 600 wet and there was the same yellow stuff. I may have stayed in 1 spot to long, I don't know?
  13. I'm trying to repaint a bass using plain white dupli-color paint,sanded,primed ect.. painted the base coat and tryed to sand it with 600 wet before the clear coat and the paint started to turn a yellow color? Has this happend to anyone else with white or any other color? Am I doing something wrong? Its been a real pain in the a.. Thanks
