Building a BC-1 guitar for my son

[Trevor Davies]

I have only used "rattle cans" a couple of times. But I recall Forum members talking about spraying a dust coat (as a check for flat surfaces!), where the can is held too far from the body being painted - resulting in the paint drops drying before they hit the body. I would try holding the can a bit closer to the body while spraying to get a wetter coat. My 2 cents!

Sounds feasible - I'll give it a light sand today and a closer coat tomorrow when the weather nears 20 deg.
Happy to spend a bit more time getting it right now so it looks half-decent later on!!
