    Yeah, that would be a big problem. I was thinking about this though. House painting and home renovation companies have to be able to seal off a room or portion of a house to keep dust at bay. They use tarps, plastic sheeting etc... floor to ceiling and make a vapor or dust barrier thats temporary and moveable. How about something like this if it is well cleaned prior to shooting?

    Is this how Ibanez did their RG ART series of guitars? They have a flame maple tops with different color stained geometric shapes on them.

    I am pouring a 10X12 slab next week for a work shop/shed. I want to get more involved in painting and have set aside budget for a conventional spray gun and compressor. I also do some airbrushing. I plan on using some of the newer water based Auto Air Colors paints and maybe eventually move up to HOK stuff. I know I don't have a whole lot of room to work with but does anyone have any ideas for a small DIY paint booth for a portion of this work area. I still want to be able to do some sanding and electronic work in the there too.

    Fantastic work Maiden, I love that Blue!

    Don't go too thick remember you to get the fabric very smooth and flat. It has to be clear coated, so it needs to be thin.

    That is outstanding work. The pics are great too. Very impressive job!

    Plain old cotton or cotton blend fabric. The fabric that is featured in the tutorial is from WalMart and costs about 6 bucks a yard.

    Go to SprayGun Depot.com. They have a bunch of good guns both HVLP and Convential (high press.) There is a Gun in the Finex line I think it's the FX 200, that's supposed to be pretty good. Non-HVLP.

    I am feeling really confident about continuing with Deft. I actually just bought 4 more cans this weekend. Deft is Nitro. On one of Joe's other posts, someone mentioned that they had spoken to a rep from Deft who confirmed this.

    you are right. I've learned a ton just looking around. I'm gettimg more and more confident everyday. Great site, great experience.
  15. Blueroomstudios
    as usual Maiden you are wealth of useful and timely information

    If I read you right you have a generally matte finish but with lots of little low shiny spots right. If this what you have it's not a sand through I don't think. When sanding this you need to sand until everything is matte and no shiny spots are left. If you don't think you have enough clear there to handle the sanding add a coat or two to prevent a sand through. Then sand everything to matte.

    If you can't find it in the aerosol, you could always use those little preval spray units. They are preloaded with aerosol propellant and you supply the product. Stew-Mac sells them.

    I'm still real new to all of this so...I did a fabric top project so the Deft clear was going on top of S&S that was on the fabric. The body is alder. I used two cans on the front, leaving a little bit in each can. I did the back and sides in gloss black Dupli color paint and have one can of Deft clear on now. Looks good. As far as curing, I don't know. I let the top sit for a little more than a week. Wet sanded from 400-2000 and hit it with Perfect It and it seemed fine although it still has a slight smell.

    I get Deft clear and spray sanding sealer at Lowes. It's in the $4.50 to $5.00 range and has worked great for me, I was just wondering if the increase in the Reranch products was worth it in terms of quality of finish. Deft is really available here, works good for me, has an adjustable spray pattern just like the others. I think there site is www.deftfinishes.com

    Lookin' good.
  21. Blueroomstudios
    Thanks Maiden, I'll send the money I save to you. What are the items you would pick up from ReRanch?
  22. Blueroomstudios
    Hey everyone, I'm starting to put together my supplies for my next project and I am wondering if anyone has an opinion on Deft clear vs. ReRanch clear. I used Deft clear and Deft S&S on my last project and had good results. The ReRanch clear is about 3 times more money than the same size Deft can. Is it really much better?
  23. Blueroomstudios
    Nice work...where's your mask?
  24. Blueroomstudios
    I think he got to it sometime yesterday. Some little punk this bastard hack Jemsite too, they finally got it back up. What's the thrill of dumping a site like reranch?
  25. Blueroomstudios
    Very nice job on the paint and finish work. It looks very pro. Good job. I know the flame doesn't blow your skirt up so I won't bust your balls. Kiddin' Nice job!
