Thinking about it, the white itself wasn't an issue. But becaus eI'd put decals on the body and headstock that needed clear coating, I had to clear the whole guitar and that's where I kept getting clearly visible black specs that kept needing to be dug out with the point of a scalpel. So stick to a polished gloss spray and you should be OK. Only clearcoat if you have to.
Oops....coat 6 of clear coat is on...drying now. Maybe two or three weeks and then a wet sand and see how it looks from there. Maybe I will just do a NON-WET sand to flatten it and spray a couple of more coats.
