I want to paint sides and back of semi hollow Tele with a laquer spray paint that is only available in spray cans. The paint is Model Master Dark Cherry Pearl-Hey, it's my Tele-.
Want to know if it is possible to get a quality finish using this product?
Thanks,bob J39062.6141550926

    Spray lacquer is probably the best to get a high quality finish! Drying as hard and fast as it does allows it to be sanded and buffed very well.

    I did some fender skirts for a 58 Jaguar Mark IV, I believe, with Ditzler and they came out incredible. I did them in a hurry for a friend when he saw how great they came out he wanted me to do the whole car. I wasn't going to spray a whole car with spray cans it would of taken me week.

    You can get a top quality finish with spray bomb lacquer! Just pore fill and your good to go!
