Make sure that you wet sand the product also. Your item should cure completely for about 6 days before clear coating. A good rule is that if you can still smell the paint, it has not cured.

I like the way you look at things . Puts a whole new perspective on a goal we're all trying to achieve . Who hasn't sprayed it again a second time because we weren't happy with our first attempt .

@Jeff Webre You may want to consider using a can of catalyzed polyurethane clear coat. It is more expensive, and you will need to wear a respirator, but it provides a stronger finish. You would only need one can, as it has a nice fan cap on it. Spraymax makes one. It's available through the coastairbrush website.

I was a pro painter for 17 years of spraying lacquer. I have retired from that (disability) and I sold my spray rigs before moving to a new state. A buddy was building stomp boxes and paying for them to be pre finished and it was junk spray jobs. So I Started using Lacquer in a can (real nitro). But I can not do a tac coat. if I tried that with a Graco 990 airless sprayer it would orange peel. I shoot on a normal coat of sealer. Sand, then a second coat, sand. Then coats of clear. Why do none of you guys ever use sanding sealer? I went from 3,000 airless spray rigs to Stew Mac Lacquer cans on metal instead of wood. I am already better than the guys selling the pedal boxes. But I still consider myself new to metal and cans.| Why no sanding sealer? Why tac coats? Is lacquer not best for metal? I see lots of enamel. But I never see oil based lacquer sanding sealer and oil based sating or gloss to top coat it.

@BradAngove

7 жыл бұрын

We don't use sanding sealer on metal because there's no need to seal it. Sealer is important for wood of course to prevent the paint from soaking into the pores, but on metal that's not an issue. Instead we deal with adhesion issues. Essentially, instead of using sanding sealer on metal we use primer. The tack coat is just to keep the paint from running on the wetter coats because enamels and polyurethanes tend to go on in slightly heavier coats than lacquer. They used to use lacquer on cars/metal all the time ( a very long time ago), but now there are finishes that are faster and more durable, so lacquer isn't as popular a choice anymore.

Another good tip is to make sure that the service you're painting and your clear coat and or paint is warmed up adequately. All liquids become less viscous when warmed. When it's less viscous it will flow out and level much better. Careful though of vertical surfaces, with less viscosity also comes more chance for runs. For those of you that don't know viscosity is defined as a liquids resistance to flow. As in water is less viscous than honey.

@artv4nd3l4y

The ambient temperature is very important, if it's 90F outside i.e. you don't need to be warming anything up. Also good to read your instructions for the recommended temperatures, depending on the temperature different hardeners can be needed. It's crazy how many variables there are with paint, i.e. if it was 20 degrees cooler you might have a different experience, can be the difference between runs etc. Painting is all about experience, but also using good paint. Use quality products and get quality results. Keep in mind not everyone is going to be able to spray paint as well as Brad, and also these spray cans work much better for small things like guitars. Not to discourage the use though.

That's definitely true for acoustic instruments, and while this technique will help one to get a better coat, it will be important to limit the number of coats. It's debatable whether more paint will have a noticeable effect on an electric guitar. I don't think any one would be able to tell the difference in sound with the amount of extra paint that you could conceivably use by employing this technique.

Well done. This is the first time i've actually heard someone explain this done this way aside from myself. I use basically the same method (less a can) and especially the 3 coat limit because when done the right way you just really don't need any more. It just can't net any better results for you so why waste the time or product. I have had some really amazing results with these spray cans. I still find myself shocked when I finish a job with 3 progressive coats of this clear coat and look over the results. I only wish I knew this 2 years ago the first time i did my headlights haha. I learned this method on my own and now would never do it any other way. I recently used this technique over rustoleum lens tint (the 1 and only) on my head and tail lights and let me tell you....

In addition, as Brad noted, quality also comes with practice. I've had to redo coats (including waiting for initial curing - approx 4 - 7 days depending on product, re-cleaning, re-sanding, etc.) many times. I've also had small jobs become big messes either due to perfectionism or rushing. Take your time, be patient, and let the paint do what it must to cure. I also agree with the 5 - 10 minute waiting period between coats, but, as noted in other comments, account for where you're painting - airflow, ambient dust, temperatures, humidity. Sometimes experience is what you get when you least want it, but patience and being willing to be "bad" before becoming proficient are keys to succeeding.

Awesome thank you Batman
