Got a couple of wood frames I've been working on, so I thought I'd try to spray laquer on them to learn how to use it. Better than screwing up a whole guitar, right? I have an automotive spray gun with a touch up gun I got several years a go when my daughter hit a deer. Got the check from the ins co and bought supplies and fixed it myself, saving half of the money instead of paying the deductible. Hooked up the touch up gun and tried it out with thinner on plywood. Not too bad. Thinned down the laquer about half and half, and sprayed several light coats. This is easy. Going to let it dry overnight, lightly sand it tomorrow and shoot them several times tomorrow. Do it again for a few days and I should be good to go.
Before I get to guitars I need an inline filter, spray mask, etc, but it looks promising. Not as bad as I thought it might be.
Of all things I've sprayed, and that is a considerable selection, nitro is by far the most forgiving.
