Andy40's first build - ST-1

[DrNomis_44]

Pabs was right...Tru oil...no good...botched it up

I tried to fix it with poly.....stuffed that too...

Ended up burning right through into the nitro colour....



Damn, oh well time to sand down and a re-paint (going acrylic this time using Phrozin's suggestion from supercheap)

If it's any consolation, I'm going to be doing some re-finishing work on my Gold Standard Strat this fortnight cause the finish I had on it can be easily scratched-off with a fingernail, I'm going with my original plan of spray-painting the body a solid gold colour, then clear-coat it with White Knight Clear Gloss Lacquer, feel free to check out the updates I posted in the thread mate.

i am not sure the enamel will respond to polishing very well on a guitar enamel can be a real bitch to get it looking like a acrylic or a 2k refinish, spray can can give a real doggy look if your not on your A game as the fan on the can sprays a little too narrow and can promote runs be interesting to see how you go with that DR

I'd probably agree with that phrozin. I put enamel on my semi-hollow body, its lookin ok but its a bit hard to get out all the little polishing scratches.

These auto paints (which i think are the same ones you used on that cash converters strat) are acrylic and the nozzle spray is awesome.
