yes, I found that out the hard way !
now the process goes , spray right, spray left, wipe nozzle and repeat...
also learned not to use cotton gloves while holding the can and pressing the nozzle. The tip of the glove was just into the top of the spray. Which went unnoticed for for a number of sweeps, until the glove tip got saturated and let go some really big drops !! (I'm spraying with the guitar laying flat...)
Sanding the big drops off was another learning experience... I saw a video that recomended cutting the sandpaper into narrow strips, and then, holding the strip down on the bump with a little finger pressure, simply pull the strip through with the other hand. Works a treat !
Three good lessons right there !
I got another coat of clear on the back and neck last week, and it will have the joy of setting for another two weeks, while I'm in the UK. Then onto some wetsanding !
At least you've got a spell of decent weather (for a change) whilst you're over here. Hope you have a great time. Waiting for paint to harden can be hard. There's always the temptation to start sanding too soon.
Maybe try something like this, or a variant, to avoid the 'finger in stream' syndrome. Others on here have used them with success.

Yea Weirdbits is right, i used a bit more expensive spray can handle, essential if you are using a lot of cans, what it does is stop you from pressing the nozzle forward where the spray can hit the top of the rim, causing the blobs.
It cost about $15 au.

Hi all,
A few quick question re pickup sizes ...
Do all of the upgrade pickups on offer thru pitbull have the same physical size ?
I measured mine to be 33mm wide x 72mm long (cover size). Does this make them"mini-humbuckers" ?
Is that a standard size ?
Thanks in advance ...
Hi witto, yes there mini humbuckers and theres not too many opptions for upgrades its either $ 50 or $ 300 a pair and not much inbetween, i ended up using lace nitro hemis and they were even smaller so i had to make some new pickup rings
Good luck
Thanks Adam,
Do you know what brand/model of the stock pickups are ?
