I suppose it's not a coincidence that it was clear whom I was speaking of. By the way, ColorTone Aerosol Guitar Lacquer is a can aerosol and it is fabulous. Further, I never intended to compare apples to oranges. I also have a full set up and love the extra control with thinner and blush additives in our South Texas humidity, but to assume that there is a huge time savings isn't true. While you will need 4hrs between 3 or 4 coats with the aerosol and then wait 10 days for the entire cure, this is a minimum schedule with spray gun, hose and compressor: -Washcoat 1-2 coats • 1-2 hours apart -Build a level surface with Lacquer 3-4 coats (2-3 coats per day, 1-2 hours apart) -Color or clear coats 2-4 coats (2-3 coats per day, 1-2 hours apart) -Wet Sand and Buff, Allow finish to cure 4-days So you can see that it takes approx. 8 days with full-on equiped shop anyway.

SPRAY CANS vs SPRAY GUNS Listen, Self appointed gurus and apostles who spew opinions without research. Don't tell this guy that spray can finishes take significantly longer to cure than those applied with a spray gun. It simply isn't true. There are certainly drawbacks - potential spitting and orange peel but the chemicals are the same and to suggest otherwise is simply ridiculous and calls into question anything else you've written on this forum. If you don't have the means to personally experiment; I recommend that you read or view Dan Erlewine's training materials that compare spray cans and spray guys where he suggests that spray guns are only really necessary when shooting a lot of paint/lacquer/whatever. If spray cans are so bad then why could you visit stewmac.com to purchase ColorTone Aerosol Guitar Lacquer? Only on guitar websites can a man read such mindless drivel. Here's another gem: Weasel: The Gibson Les Paul has more sustain than a Stratocastor. Jerk (That's me): Yeah, true enough, so frickin' what. Are you going to ask your audience to press their ear to your guitar's body while you play? NO! You will plug it into an amplifier, maybe through a "sustainer."
