Hello everyone, I am new guitar making enthusiast.
Unfortunately I have never painted anything in my life before. As such, I bought some videos from Erliwine and also an ebook called "how to paint your guitar with a spray can", all of which were helpful for me as a beginner.
Unfortunately, my first job is not going well. I primered my body and my first few coats produced a number of runs. My technique is a little better now and my last coat had no new runs, but the ones I had thought were sanded down still show through.
So my question is does anybody have an online resource for how a beginner can deal with this situation, either how to sand them down properly, or should I remove the primer and start over. And if I should do that, what is the best way to take the primer off the body.
Thanks everyone, I hope to do this seriously. I live about 25 miles from Warmoth here in the NW, so look forward to making a bunch of guitars.
