Not many mistakes but most of his mistakes can be hidden, but he wants perfection. Sand guitar kits good first, then get all dust off, and slowly spray the finish after you've tested the color on practice piece

The fun thing about paint is if you put it on too thick, the outer layer dries and the underside stays soft. That's why you can indent it weeks later.

@Drt0Kkdo 7 месяцев назад

tip from my dad whos obsessed with glossy finish was first have a thick clear coat layer, sand it lightly with 3000 grit until the orange peel gets levelled, then rubbing compound using cotton until you hear squeak, then finally scratch remover using cotton again until it squeaks. I gave it a shot on my motorcycle and oh boy it looks like it always just came out of a wash.

@nicktravelstead515 4 года назад

Next time if you’re painting and it’s chilly out side stick your cans in a pan for warm water for a few minutes. It helps it spray better. Cold won’t necessarily keep your paint from drying it just makes it take longer to dry. Also use sand-able primer for a base coat. It’ll fill in a lot of the uneven spots.

@MaxSoloMusic 4 года назад

Yep, that’s exactly what I was using - warm water

@alwaysrockn2009 4 года назад

And actually, my first paint job with spray cans was on an Ibanez and instead of sanding down to raw wood I just slightly sanded the top coat. The result was very smooth, I didn't even apply a varnish on it and this paint job lasted for a couple of years before I made a new paint job on it. It would likely have lasted several more years.

I know this was done over a year ago, but nice info on the DIY efforts. I have done about 8 or 9 DIY guitar builds (2 kits and the rest being home made builds and restores). I have run into many of these mistakes on my own and they do quite often cost you more time in the long run. Patience is the key with these types of projects. In the end I have been happy with all of my projects. Great video!

I'm so happy you made this video because what you knew at the start of the process is exactly what I knew. And I would have surely made the same mistakes as you. Also a very important thing you mentioned , even if you know the exact steps and how to do it, you can still buy the wrong supplies for your job and not get the best result.

I was planning to do a DIY a Telecaster, as well. I took the time to compute for the shopping list I made and it was relatively cheap to do a DIY than buy one. But after watching your time-consuming yet amazing take on this, I have to re-think for a couple of more times now. It takes a lot of patience and determination to do this and kudos to you, good sir. Well done!

Brilliant video, with very good results - considering the trials along the way. Given you need to use the right materials, and go through the correct processes, along with having a reasonable level of skill, the two things most people really don't take enough account of are - the cost of all the materials, and the time it takes to do a straightforward proper job - especially curing time. Thanks again for such an informative video.

There are a lot of cool color changing clear coats that I'd like to try to apply to a cheaper guitar. Take your time with this. You'll apply a lot of coats and sand and polish a lot. If you only have one guitar, buy or borrow another one so you're not tempted to rush while your instrument is out of commission

God bless you, Sir! I'm sorry that you had to go through this the hard way - teaching yourself to do it. I did this same thing when I was learning at 16 years old. I have been doing this for almost 30 years now and I can do factory finishes now but it took a lot of painful mistakes to do so. All I can say is keep trying to get it right and keep practicing on garbage guitars like I did later and not on thousand dollar plus guitars!! Most of what I did was low budget but are now nostalgic like Teisco Del Rey and Harmony brands. These are not high dollar but are now considered collector guitars and would be worth a lot of bucks today! Thank you and keep going as long as you can stand it. : )

You give me hope.... I have 2 1970s Strats that I saved from an owner who was set out to ruin them by stripping off the finishes.

@alecv8249 4 года назад

Broo I feel you so much!! At the moment I am going through a 5 strings Yamaha bass restoration, and I have made literally EVERY mistake possible, even those you didn't make. Anyway, after more than 6 months of work and existential crisis, I am slowly seeing the light in the tunnel, and hopefully this week I will end this pain completing the bass. I know the struggle really really well, and if you are willing to paint an instrument by yourself, simply know that if it is the first time, it will be a suffering. But if you are stubborn enough, in the end you will feel very statisfied, even if the result will not be the same as a custom shop guitar. So keep on working and be quite and don't panic!!!

@MaxSoloMusic 4 года назад

Well said!

@jvburnes 4 года назад

You can avoid a lot of hassle by applying a wood sealer before painting or staining. It gives you a *much* more even finish and saves a lot of spray paint. You can make your own sealer by using a dilute 8:1 mixture of distilled water to white wood glue (like elmers, gorilla or PVA). Don't soak it because too much water will raise the grain unnecessarily. Lightly sand the first coat with 400 grit sandpaper. Apply one more thin coat after the first dries. After this the wood will no longer suck up the spray paint and it will come out much more even and professional. Try this technique on scrap stock until you get it right. Good luck.

When I was 10 I got a bass for Christmas I wanted a blue and silver one, but I was given a red one (not complaining I was just as happy) I remember after a year of playing I got a black bass so the red one was just sitting there. I took it to my friends house and we spray painted it. I never sanded it never did anything. I even left the strings and pick ups on the bass. Let’s just say I’ve never painted a guitar again. Also I never took that bass home because I was scared to get in trouble. We threw it in a creek and I told my mom I let my friend borrow it….😂
