  1. what about grain filler and sanding sealer?
  2. Thx for the advice. I`ll look for a satin clear at the store. PS: Another question regarding grain filler and sanding sealer. I know that grain filler is used to cover wood pores, I still keep searching to buy one (In Romania, where i`m from), it is like a primer ? Some alternative products that are similar to grain filler?? Also , what does sand sealer do?
  3. Thank you Jim for all the help . I`m now more confident about the work i`ve done. I think i`ll dry this paint for about 3 weeks, after that i`ll mount all the hardware. If the paint will try to "run away" off my body, I`m sure that i`ll add one or two more coats of black satin paint and that should do the trick. PS: It is my first paint job.
  4. On the can does not specify that i need to cover it with a clear coat, so i think it wil stay without any clear coat applied (this will affect the paint, example when i will play?). I just will wet sand the body, should i use soap in may water? thanks for the advice and help Jim. PS: I found out how to insert image, so here is my painted guitar body: http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/1081/image000sh3.jpg http://img300.imageshack.us/img300/998/image001rh5.jpg http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/7871/image002mp9.jpg
  5. If you've sanded back the original finish and properly applied a new satin finish, then there's no need for another finish. It all depends on the finish you've applied, how many coats you've applied, what kind of finish you're hoping to achieve and how well the new finish went on as to whether you need to do more on it. But you'll be the one that knows if the finish looks right or not. It's difficult to comment any further without a bit more detailed info (pictures ideally)of what you've already done. Jim thx Jim, i applied like this: primer - 2 coats, black satin paint from a can - 3 coats. at the actual moment the paint is still drying, i put the last coat on feb 8. i thought it will be not to good with 3 coats, but it is very good, better than i expected . the problem is not how i want, i know that, but rather is the satin finish needs to be protected or not with a clear coat?? this is the question that i`ve been asking myself. I have some pictures, but don`t know how to post them in here...
  6. hi everyoane i`m new on this forum, if i poste in the wrong place sorry , but i have a question about a guitar finish, here it goes. i bought a second hand ibanez guitar with some big scratches on the body, so i sanded off original finish and i did a satin one. but still don`t know if the satin finish needs a final clear coat(s)? please help me with some advice. thank you.
