    I'm going get in trouble for saying this, but I've used Anchor brand spray cans and had excellent results. Obviously using spray cans is never gonna be the best option, but Anchor use great nozzles and put out a really even spray and there is an awesome range of colours.

    Pab's, that's just earned you ten minutes in the naughty corner!

    But we know you have seen the light and heard the tone subsequently, so sentence reduced in terms of lack of tone heard!

    Nope!

    Spray-paint kills tone, i want my guitar to sound beautiful as well as look beautiful which is why I use Wudtone.

    Pablo, don't mind the Guitar Finish Nazis, they mean well. There's room for a few options when finishing your guitar. If you think tone and a subtle, sophisticated finish is most important, go for the Wudtone. If you just want shiny, shiny, then go for some spray colour and clear lacquer. And we appreciate your recommendation... I've only used auto paint, so it's nice to hear there's other options.
    Cheers,

    Adam

    i use a compressor and paint Nitro.(basis and clear)
    But it is not easy to buy Nitro Laqueur in Germany.
    It is very expensive. To paint a Guitar you can expect 50 euro.
    this is only the laqueur. no sandpaper , polish and,and and
    i know a guitarmaker he makes perfect finishes with cans.
    for staining i use the clou products.but i try wudtone. i knew it not been
