Brad, I’ve been watching your videos over the last month trying to figure out to refinish an old Squier Jazz Bass. After sanding the body down with 400 grit I think? I decided on using a combination of Duplicate-Color Gray perfect match filler primer and Dupli-Color Olympic White. I actually purchased the Dupli-Color clear coat but after watching some other videos with people raving about the SprayMax 2K Clear coat I decided to order a can of that instead. Wow am happy I did! It did end up with a pretty noticeable orange peel that I had to do more research on how to fix. I ended up wet sanding the whole body with 1500, 2000, then 3000 sand paper and finally polishing the whole thing with polishing compound. I know I messed up probably a lot because I’m very new to all of this but this combination of products is a total winner and my finished product looks amazing despite my green thumbs! I’ve never commented on a KZread video but after seeing that you made a video with the sameish combo of stuff I used I just had to let you know! You were my guide in this refinishing process so I just wanted to say thanks for all the tips and information on how to finish things so well on a budget! Stay Safe!

Dude, you make me want to go to the gym!

In Canada you can get Spraymax at Napa.

If you're willing to spend a little more than what a can of Duplicolor costs, automotive paint suppliers can often mix a proper 1k urethane base coat into a spray can for you. Sherwin Williams will do it if you go to one of their automotive specialty stores. 66 Auto Paint in Missouri sells online and does Pantone color matching, they can create just about any shade of any color you could possibly think of. I wanted to do a lavender finish but could only find that color in cheap hardware store enamels. I found a shade I liked on the Pantone color chart and they mixed a perfect urethane color match for me. No affiliation with them, but very happy with how the project turned out.

Hi Brad / long time follower here and love your work... in fact your videos gave me enough confidence to basically build a strat from a piece a junk. So let me share my experience ... After one year of work 🙂 I primed the body, sanded it nicely (as strange as it may sound I love sanding, it’s soothing) and gave 3 coats of synthetic enamel as colour. That was possibly the fatal flow but let me continue... enamel was the only product I found which I could have the colour made exactly to my shade of seafoam. It turned out gorgeous. I left it to cure for two months as i was quite worried about the next step and finally sprayed it with non catalysed poly as i believed that 2K could be too aggressive on the enamel. ... so I gave some nice coats, turned out fantastic, polished with wet sanding up to 2500 then macguire compound, all by hand. It looked amazing, factory finish seriously. After 2-3 weeks the poly started to crackle, very fine lines which got worse for another 3-4 weeks and finally stopped. I have a beautiful vintage looking poly finish now 😜, which of course i was not expecting. This is my experience and I would love to have your opinin on what happend... and what kind of paint is duplicolour to withstand 2K as clear - infos are not so clear to me! Anyways, I will start building another in no time! Keep up with the great work! Ciao

Well I’m glad most of the process went well for you. Long story short: enamel doesn’t play well with other paints. If you’re going to use enamel, either use an enamel clear over it, or just go ahead and polish the enamel color itself.

Sand with 1000 grit till its flat. 3-4 layers on top of that and then sand with 1000 then 1500 and then 2000. Then polish. I hope this will give me a nice high gloss. What do you think?

That should work fine if it's lacquer.

I've come to understand, repeatedly, that 220 is the best grit for paint prep. I've been told that 320 is too close to polishing the wood which to a certain degree inhibits good adherence of the paint.

I had a couple questions. If using duplicolor paint is it any harder to get a good finish with a metallic color? Compared to a solid?!Or is it about the same? Also do you recommend warming up the cans at all? I have seen some people recommend that. Not sure if that is a good idea or not.

Just to clarify, how much time was between each coat? I know you said in the beginning but some of the edits made it seem like you did one after the other.
