How To Spray Paint A Guitar - Start to Finish

DISCLAIMER: I have learned that spraying lacquer in that close of proximity to a regular box fan could be dangerous. I recommend that you not run the fan like I say in the video, or at least do your own research.

Additional Info:

Necessary items for this project include:
Dupli-color lacquer spray paint
1 can of sand-able primer ($7.99)
3 cans of color paint (3 x $8.99)
2 cans of clear top coat (2 x $8.99)
Meguiar’s Rubbing Compound ($7.99)
Meguiar’s Mirror Glaze ($14.99)
Sandpaper in various grits (320, 600, 1000, 1500, 2000) (around $6 a pack but you can find variety packs that have most of the grits you need for less.)

TOTAL COST FOR PAINT AND POLISH: $75.92

Additional items:
Spackle or wood filler
Painter’s tape
Paint mask
Paper towels
Microfiber towels (Harbor Freight is the best place to pick these up, the pack I used is $7.99 but often it is a free item they give away if you purchase anything else)
Car buffer or buffing pad for orbital sander (I picked up this pad for my 5” orbital sander, it isn’t necessary but it does make polishing a lot faster: amazon.com/gp/product/B00SJ1DMXY/ref=oh_aui_det…)
