    One way to make sure that you’re sanding the entire surface, is to spray it with a light coat of water based spot trace. That’s from my yacht painting days. It forces you to sand everything, whether you want to or not. A rigid sponge sanding block is good too. BTW, you do excellent work!

    Thanks Tom. In auto painting they use something similar called a guide coat. It’s usually used for leveling off primer etc before painting.

    Brad...great channel. I use a sealer and don't worry much about wet sanding and have never had issues with water on the wood. I use very light sprays of water as well. Creates more work to do it that way but I play on the cautious side and haven't had issues. Thanks again!

    The sand and polish is my favourite part 👀. I's nice to hear someone who knows what they're talking about. There's so much bad advice around painting and finishing in general. Watch that mic lol. I always use water. No need to make things wet enough that water is running into holes, and I hate dust everywhere (I guess I prefer mud everywhere 😂). Right edges. Paint pools on flats, so it creeps away from edges. On top of that, edges are naturally going to get a lot more pressure from sanding than distributed pressure over flat areas.

    Hi Brad, I know you read your messages and you don't have to respond but I wanted to say to you THANK YOU ! 2k is the best clear ever for amateur painters, The results on my bass were awesome and didn't even polished it, I left it as is and it perfect(near perfect but Budget wise it wise perfect). I follow every steps of your video and I did my way for one step and it was a pain in the ass, I filled ash wood with Varathane floor varnish and it took me like 20 coats and in some place it wasn't filled enough. But the last step is the best, and that product is a kick ass product(you should have some cash reward) from spray max. All in all, I did a pro job for around 175 $ canadian. If any viewers have questions you can ask me too lol, I've watch all videos and I still have my sheets that I handwrote for number of coats and drying times for each steps(sealing-priming-painting-Clearing).

I have a Fender Strat in Dakota Red but the finish is a satin finish and although red is fine I can't get used to it being a satin finish. I don't like it. I tried to use car polish to get it glossy but it only makes it a bit shinny but not truly glossy. Is there anything that can be done to make it glossy? Your video you started from scratch, ground zero but mine is already a factory finish. Thanks!

    Clean it with wax and grease remover to get the polish off, then sand it smooth with 800 grit, clean again, and then you can go ahead and spray gloss on it.

    Hello Brad, i've put 3 coats of spraymax 2k on my guitar and waiting for it to dry 24+ hours. Due to vinyl stickers under the clear coat, plus some orange peel it's obvious that i'll need a thicker clear coat. My question is up to what grip do i need to sand the first 3 coats before i apply another 3 on top of that? AND if i sand the first 3 coats won't those sanding scratches be visible through the future upper layers ?

    Hello Brad. The polisher that you are actually using in this video is air powered. Could you share the model. I find my air powder sander doesn't turn enough as it's random orbit and hangs up. I ended up using my Milwaukee drill with the polishing head on and it worked fine but I'd like to invest in something for the compressor.

    Brad, I've painted 4 guitars using this method and am having a bit of a problem. Around the neck joint on the body, specifically the sides of the block the neck attaches to, I keep getting a white milky type of look in sections. My most recent paint job had the same thing, but also had larger areas of it on the lower back portion. I am using DupliColor Perfect Match paint and SprayMax 2k clear. I am also wet sanding up to 3000 grit, the polishing. I'm assuming it's moisture under the clear, but I don't know. 1) What can I do to stop it from happening, and 2) Is there any way to fix it after it happens. Thanks for all your help and tutorials!

    Brad, quick question.... I’m following this procedure exactly (grey sandable primer>duplicolor>spray maxx 2k) Do I have to use a sanding sealer on the bare wood body if I’m going to use sandable primer ? I have a kit guitar with bare wood and I did a test piece yesterday and it came out pretty nice but I’m worried about putting the primer straight to bare 🪵 wood over time as people on forums say it could soak into the wood eventually and ruin my finish. Your advice would be greatly appreciated!

    Acrylic works well. I’m not aware of that type of sealer in spray cans, but it may exist. Typically when you catalyze it it hardens fast and you end up throwing out the paint gun afterward.
