Cool cheers. I'm just thinking about the incoming Jazzmaster and it's rediculously thick polyester coat. Would probably be quite a mission to strip it back though.slowfingers wrote: Sooty, on my black Tele, I used aerosol cans of Nitro lacquer from Wairau paints and would do it again.
Couple of points: The spray finish is heavy orange peel. The lacquer needs to cure for a few weeks then you sand it down with wet & dry and polish it up. I was delighted with the results, it looks and feels like an old finish. Mine is heavily relicd so I wasn't worried about perfection. It's time consuming; probably why polished nitro is expensive, but the finish is thin and feels really good.

Wowowow! $90? How many minutes is that for?BG wrote:Hang on, is this a thread about webcam sites now?slowfingers wrote:All up cost about $90 and a tired arm.
Getting a panelbeater to fix a thick factory finish is rediculous... sorry, I mean ridiculous. The main reason I disapprove of such a course of action - it will come back worse, not better and it will still be the same polyurethane. Other reasons include the fact that painting wood comes with different pitfalls to painting bog and steel, I've never seen a panelbeater buff a guitar finish properly (with one exception and he charges keenly for it), some actually use bog as grainfiller because that's what they do on cars, and finally they stll charge a lot to do the job properly if they're willing to do it properly at all.mr_sooty wrote: Cool cheers.
