Not knowing what brand paint you are using I've had problems with SCA acrylic clear coat sticking to the pads on my guitar racks.
I'm planning to give the TL & ST a light rub back and redo the clear coat with wipe on poly, none of my other builds used SCA clear and haven't given the same problem
This is why I no longer use Duplicolor. I am not blaming the mfg. It is probably related to the heat and humidity of the place where I spray...but since I don't control the weather and don't like paint that sticks where it shouldn't and doesn't stay stuck where it should...Originally Posted by dave.king1
Hi folks, I did some more research and my finding is that if you leave at least 3 days between coats, no clear is needed.
So I did 3 coats, front and back with 3-4 days in between and it looks pretty nice really. Still has its own nice gloss - not excessive and is fairly smooth. So I think it's alright.
This weekend I get to put it all together and hope I do it in the right order! (something like neck to body, headstock nuts, bridge etc, pickups, wiring.... and hoping it all works!!)
I have 17 days before son's birthday so I'm hoping I can get it done and tested (I'll play a few notes upside down as I'm left-handed) before his birthday.
thanks all for the notes etc so far... I'm sure I'll have a few more questions as I head into the final straight
