A first kit for Christmas: JMA-1L

[Volgar]

Wow !
A big thanks for all these details !

Second : you are applying far to much paint process to your guitar.
Seal / etch / very thin white primer ( not filler primer).

So, I just need these 3 products, am I right ?

To get it ready for the final coats - yes.

Jarrod is very experienced and is working with the correct equipment (go and check out his STA, its gorgeous) he really knows what he is talking about. My method is just what I do, but all his corrections are valid. I put on more paint than I need and sand it back a lot. It takes longer but works for me.

Just be aware getting the hang of spray painting takes practice even with cans, so you are bound to be making mistakes and sanding back. Patience is the key.

Hello !
I am going to start sanding today while waiting for the water filler to arrive!
Since I am very bad at technical English, I wanted to know what I was missing as a product, having:
- Water filler
- Painting (which is also varnished)

Apart from these two products, I only need a primer, is that it?

Here is the body before the beginning :

After 180 sanding :

After 240 sanding :

After 320 sanding :

I don't know if I need to work with higher grain, what do you think about it ?
I'm actually waiting my wood filler ! ^^

For the moment, my impressions are that I love to do this, I always love the wood contact, but here, just to make this wood piece become so smooth ! Ahah
I already work with wood, but it was as a scout for living construction (table, boat, bivouac over the water, trapper's hut to spot animals...). It was therefore only the rough work of the saw, the chisel, the mallet, the burrow, etc ... The accuracy of this work, which is still at its beginning, I already like very much !

Some nice grain showing there

Nice start.

Looks like your kit arrived in France faster than mine coming across Australia...

Ahah,
But I think you will not have the "chance" to pay 90 AUD custom tax !

This looks very smooth already Volgar and it is a very good looking grain structure. Nice work!

Thank you all
I asked myself a question, are there things to do to prepare the neck apart the setting?

Hello everybody !
I have a question about the wood primer,
I found one in a DIY store : https://www.cultura.com/montana-400m...500376313.html
Do you think it can works ?
My paint is a nitrocellulose one, but the varnish is for acrylic paint so I asked myself if I can buy it !
Here's a translation of the description :

The Montana Primer Universal Primer spray facilitates adhesion of acrylic paints to substrates.

This universal primer will work equally well on leather, cardboard, wood and many other materials than on non-primed paper or canvas. Preparing your support is essential to ensure a good life of your creations. In order to avoid disastrous air bubbles, it is recommended to apply several layers of primer.

Montana Universal Primer Primer is packaged in a 400ml aerosol spray.

I also have a second question, in relation to the wood filler, how many layers do I have to put and at what interval?
