My first time spraying a guitar

here's the strat I did. I think it turned out pretty well. *Progress in comments.

Added the dark brown

Looks killer so far!  :icon_thumright:

 

[Logrinn]

Indeed. Looks great

This after spraying the red, and later adding six coats of slightly ambered clear. I'm pretty happy with it.

Very nice work!

Looks good! And it's your first. :icon_thumright:

 

[PhilHill]

Very Nice.  :headbang:

Nice job.  What equipment did you use?  Spray Can, compressor / sprayer?

I used a homeright super finish max sprayer, with the small blue tip, mohawk finishers choice gloss lacquer, and lacquer thinner. Transtint dyes for color, and blush retarder to spot treat any blush. Luckily I only had it blush the last day I was spraying the clear. It cleared right up. I'm going to try and finish sand and buff this weekend.

I'm kinda going for a 62-64 Fender Stratocaster 3 tone sunburst. I did a little aging to the hardware.

The neck is on it's way. I just need to do the decal, install the tuners & nut, and this bad early 60's looking strat is done.

Another angle.

 

[NedRyerson]

That is absolutely gorgeous!

I'm one step closer to a guitar. The neck arrived just after noon today.  :turtle:  :bass:

 

[PhilHill]

Looking Good indeed. Nice work.  :icon_thumright:

 

[MarcusLA1959]

I'm going to get the decal on, and put everything together before weeks end. That's the plan.  :headbang1:

 

[MarcusLA1959]

I had a few minor setbacks, but I got it finished.

 

[bagman67]

Beautiful work!  Nicely done.

Hey,  :icon_thumright: ! It definitely has the classic look. Well done.
