Get it from guitar re-ranch. Its good stuff and is genuine nitrocellulose. Meaning it will dry fast and when fully cured will be hard. In a colder climate it will weather check, but you won't have those issuesGreg_L wrote: ↑Mon Feb 06, 2017 8:35 pmNo, so far all local, but besides the grain filler none of this will be used on the SG. This is just test stuff.WhiskeyJack wrote: ↑Mon Feb 06, 2017 8:29 pm back on topic, though, where are you getting your supplies? Are you getting it from stewmac ?
I still need to get some clearcoat and superfine sandpaper. Auto parts stores will have that.
I'm planning on ordering the white paint and clearcoat for the SG from Guitar Reranch. Or possibly I might use auto paint.
Automotive paints , the touch up colors, that you get at the auto parts shops are almost always acrylic and have plasticizers in them. Stays rubbery.
On the neck it will manifest itself as being 'sticky'. Like almost forever.
Go with the good shit.
Ps. With the white, no need for clearcoat. It will buff out just fine and look good. The clearcoat just adds more room for error, as in particles caught between the base coat and clear. It will piss you off when that happens.
No clearcoat, no problems.
Now, if you want it to yellow as it ages, in that case you need the clearcoat.
Your choice.
