Is there any type of finish I can spray onto a specialty-wood top? Like I want a quilt maple or spalt maple top but I just bought a spray gun, and it sounds like it might go to waste. |

what makes a quilted maple top any different to spray versus a quilted maple back? Any finish that you can spray out of a gun can be sprayed onto wood. Doesn't mean that it's the best finish for a guitar mind you. You can spray shellac, lacquer, water based lacquers, polyurethane or polyester (there are other's too, but these have been tryed on guitars that's why I mention them). I'd stick with the tried and true stuff for guitars like shellac, lacquer or the polyester or polyurethanes. |

[QUOTE=Rod True] Doesn't mean that it's the best finish for a guitar mind you.[/QUOTE] I knew you could paint anything on, what I meant was is there something of comparable quality to rubbing dye? Supposedly the dye gives it a more 3- dimensional feel, and I wanted to know if there was a spray that did the same thing. |

Are you trying to get the grain to "pop"? I'm a bit confuse about what you are asking. |
