could someone skip the triple glaze and polishing from part 1 if you do both parts to your guitar?

Awesome Job! Quick question, can you skip the polishing and just level sand then go the the candy process and after that level sand and then polish?

Hey @Iron Gordon i learned about a Denim compound cutting pad that can work out your 2k clear coat orange peel & imperfections without sanding, then move on to polishing,...& you know, careful on the edges.

Always wear a condom so your fully protected. Leftover paint on your hands could still be toxic especially during palm polishing

As an automotive painter, for an even deeper shine you could spray 3-4 coats of clear then wet sand it with 1000 spray it again and you’ll get a very deep shine, also you should buy a heavier cutting compound such as Wizard Mystic Cut (i prefer it over others because it’s water base and doesn’t leave hard residue) and then meguiars #7 or either the meguiars you’re using it will most defiently improve your quality

You know a product's good when it says *EXTREME DANGER* on it. Bloody great job, this is some stellar stuff.

Saw the thumbnail of this video and instantly clicked on it. I was not disappointed. Absolutely the best spray can job on a guitar I've ever seen. Stunning work. I am subscribed!

PS, I love how people suggest an improvement, as if this isn't a video on how to do a quick and dirty rattle-can job. They all want to tell you how this could be improved, if you were to do a "Professional" "By the Book" "Top Notch" $2K paint job. That's NOT what this is. It's how to do a killer "At Home" job, with little-to-no "Special Tools". I just think that they should keep this in mind, prior to telling you how to do something completely different than what you have perfectly shown us. This is THEE BEST at home, cheap, totally "Work with what you've got", and be creative video that I have seen. So, again, thanks!

I was thinking the same thing.

okay, I am going to help you out. the job is nice, but you have to admit, it could pop a little more instead of having a milky reflection of the lights. if you want to really have a mirror finish where you can read a newspaper in the reflection, you have to use different polishing technique. First, you have to use a rubbing compound to remove all of the scratches!!! Otherwise, you are just polishing the scratches; which is what happened here. After the compound follow up with polishing compound and finally with ultra fine polish. each time using different buffing pads made for each job. Never cross contaminate. I am not writing to criticize your work, I think it is fantastic. You just need to finish the job. I hope this helps, BTW, I have been doing this for 35 years, I know what I am talking about. oh, and yeah. I like how you emphasized safety, most people don't read the can..

That palm buffer isn’t anywhere near powerful enough to correct the wet sanding. Going to 3k then 5k and finally hitting it low speed with a foam pad and cutting compound then work your way back to polishes and a glaze with a DA will yield better results. That paint job is killer though!

I liked it alot good job but he's right , when you learn to cut and buff with a automotive type setup it will take your art to the next level. I recommend practicing on your daily driver just to get a feel for it.

Your taping skills is absolutely everything 👌

Wow! I first watched the previous vid where you do the silver metallic flake and I was really impressed. Then when you said you were going to use that to create another look I thought that was insane, but the end product you produced is like a work of art. It's unique and vibrant and 50 years from now I'm sure it will still be blowing people away,

I've been researching finishes for a long time, and you really nailed down some good technique. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much that was an awesome 3 part explanation and gave me some crazy cool ideas I’m a musician and professional tattoo artist of 37 years and got some killer ideas from you!!! Super cool!!!

Just watching that one episode solved so many questions, Thanks mate.

Excellent job man!! It really motivated me to build and decorate my own guitar!!

OMG ! wow !!! skills and pure talent !!

Wow. That’s amazing!!

This is effing righteous!! Great textures and colors!

Spectacular work!

I've watched 100's of guitar build videos and never seen anything like this. Very cool approach and the result is stunning. Aside from the 2K incident (you're right to be very afraid of it - it's great but it will kill you) you really showed some cool new (for me) techniques. Gracias!

Hello; I just signed on my computer to drop you a comment and tell you how absolutely stunning your paint job on this guitar looks. I don't know how this video doesn't have 7 millions views instead. I need to repaint a vintage Japanese Les Paul I screwed up the paint on after having to move the bridge back with a neck replacement. I grew up with a dad who's a retired automotive paint & body man, so I kind of have an eye for what "perfection" looks like with people painting well... anything. These other "professional" guitar painters on KZread I watched, some of them just don't look good, despite having the right tools & methods for professional painting. I'm just absolutely blown away at how good your guitar looks for having used only spray cans. The first video I was really impressed with, but this one took it to a whole new level. Using that fabric to create that layered effect in the beginning, it looks like a guitar a see-thru burst effect without you having used traditional methods to accomplish it. And your attention to detail on the backside, something most people ignore, taping all those intricate patterns and shapes. It's just amazing. I can't say enough good about your quality of work and guitar from this video and your other one, and also thank you for sharing your techniques for this. I left a sub and I'm going to share this video on some guitar restoration boards, people need to see this!
