Hi all, first post. I am building the ATL-1SB kit and i'ts coming along nicely.

I orignally planned to spray both neck and body with Nitro clear coat (I have stained the neck walnut, and will leave the body unstained) and have bought a satin rattle can. However, reading more about nitro, it sounds like it will take many cans (i've heard up to 6 cans for the body alone). This will get very expensive so I'm looking at other options.

Currently I'm thinking I'll use the Nitro rattle can I already bought to coat the neck, then find another option for the body. I'm keen to get a satin finish on the body if possible. Since the body is maple, I've been advised by Sydney Guitar Setups that I can spray straight onto the wood without using any filler.

Does anyone have experiense with Acrylic rattle cans, such as this one? Any advice on number of coats etc.

Alternatively, if the above isn't durable enough, I've also seen this:
