Enamel, lacquer over the enamel? 2k clear over that? Would that give the same effect?

Do not silicone or black off the hole in the bottom that is where moisture and water escapes from if water gets down in that panel make sure it is not clogged or blocked

I am trying to paint my guitar this week and have some issues with VHT paint. I've tried to warm it up, spray from far distance and i still got some bubbles on the horn of the guitar. I sanded it down even removed previous finish and its the same. Did you have any issues or all the finishes turned out perfect?

I scrapped of all the laquer from my guitar and Im going to crackle it. After spraying with montana, are you sanding it before spraying 2K clear coat? Is clear coat sticking really well? Is it sticking well especially to the glossy red finish? I did a test with silver paint, It cracked but rather small (I put alot of paint) and silver paint peeled off, have you ever experienced that? (maybe surface was oily or something). Thanks

As someone said - best looking crackle finish. Very agressive looking crackles! I am painting my guitar (I heard crackles are not working with silver/metalic paints underneath). Do you think I can do 1 base silver layer than wait over night, than do 2 layers of transparent spray, than put crackle paint on top? I hope crackle paint will react with transparent coat and will see silver finish underneath. Thanks

Wow!! the guitar came out phenomenal!!! Really nice work.

How is sanding it flat afterwards? Is it easy to burn through or chip off etc? What grit paper did you use? I was thinking of doing a rhoads v in red and black and low and behold found your v video, defintely going to do it now, looks awesome🤘

What clear coat cans did you use for this guitar?

*** HEAT GUN *** Probably do not need it in summer time. Depends on how the outside climate is, if youre just doing it in your garage like me.

cool, gonna try to crackle a guitar myself one of these days.. did you use a heat gun here also? also did i understand correctly, you aplied crackle just 3 minutes after the paint coats?

would be cool to see the whole process yeah

LOOKS SICK!!!!

pretty cool outcome. interesting tip on engine enamel paint....and the paint and then two new coats of color 10-15 minutes apart jsut before crackle is in line....I guess spraying crackle on when it's kind of wet makes the cracks larger.

That’s really cool , always wondered how you get the lightning effect instead of the tile !!!

The Audio really sucks can't hear the dist guitar. Why upload when you know it!

Nice job bro. A Red tone knob would look sweet

Looks amazing. I think engine enamel paint is the way to go. I've started using it and it's really good in reacting with the crackle. Also, your 10min drying time is great advice. No idea why it says 45 on the Montana tins.

That's fucking killer homie!

Do you hit it with the heat gun immediately? Or wait for ir ro start crackling?

Really a great job. What did you use for a primer under the VHT engine enamal? Thanks

Phenomenal crackle job, definitely one of the best I've seen. It would be great to see this guitar completed with the clear coat.

Took way too long to say what you needed to say but right on

I got this on a Stuka model airplane one time, I wanted a winter camo paint job. I Sprayed it heavy with a flat white enamel then before it completely dried I hit again heavy with a blue lacquer.

Great vid. What exact paint did you use?

I removed both of the black plastic rocker covers. You can get in there with compressed air and a Shop-Vac. It is a challenge but the compressed air will break up the foam like popcorn and then you can suck it out with your Shop-Vac you will find creative ways to get the vast majority of it out of there I wanted to make a video on this but I was having too much fun getting it out of there and then go in there with the long spray nozzle of cavity wax and treat that whole inner rocker panel you can get pretty far into the forward area of the rear quarter panel I thought about taking out the back seat and rear door panel to see what kind of access could be attained but the car only has 3.000 Mi on it. I figured there's a chance I might break something pulling it apart so I'll save that for another day and I also plan on keeping it out of the crappy weather for as long as I can I cleared out both of my rockers of all the foam and it's just now an open cavity with 3m cavity wax using a 360 degree spray tip and long extension wand in there. Mine is a 2021 and the way you can find out if it's foam filled pull off that body plug just inside your door jamb. You will be surprised I know this is the newer updated rear outer wheelhouse design however that foam is just going to absorb moisture and promote rust Plus all the drainage holes are plugged up.

Where did you get your crackle paint from?

Johnny Marr signature Jaguar 👍

yup, you win. best crackle out of all youtube tutorials. the others are using air guns, i guess a heat gun is the way to the fattest patches.

It is said that Dodge solved the issue with 2015 model so the pre 2015 models are affected by rust issues

WoW love it!

Legend, perfect results!

Killer

Love it.....

This is the best DIY crackle I've ever seen.

Thanks man. I have a V220 with the jack in the better spot. I want a new one built but I want to make sure they don't screw up and put it on the inside position.

I'm just trying to justify the price when an Ibanez headless is $2k cheaper

because mine has a sunroof that doesn't fully close i avoid driving it in the rain and hopefully this will also help delay the rusting process which has already occurred anyone who spend a small fortune on these cars i feel sorry

The quarter panel down there has factory expanding foam inside for decreased road noise. The foam holds onto moisture and causes rust from inside out.

Hate to see that My Ram 1500 had rust spot coming through the door from the inside. Chrysler seem to do this

My 2009 Challenger R/T has rust at the bottom of the quarter panel and the lower door frame. I plan on taking it to a body shop to replace both panels and the lower door frame. I wish Dodge make "cheater" panels so you do not to replace the entire quarter panel, just the lower rusted area

Those are so tiny I had to get all maple ..I wanted over a 10 pound guitar with out pupps

Thank you for the review I've been wanting one but was worried about neck dive.

if you can get the '80s ultra v the heavy ass Maple neck and body neck through with the m22sd buy it.

HI GUY HERES ANOTHER 1 FOR YOU LOOK BEHIND YOUR FRONT TIRE THERES A PATCH IT COVERS A HAND WINDOW, INSIDE THERE IS THE TOP OF BOLT THAT CONNECTS YOUR SUB-FRAME. MAKE SURE THAT PATCH IS ALWAYS THERE.I LIVE IN NEWYORK THERES ALOT OF SALT IN WINTER. ANYHOW IF THAT PATCH COMES OFF WATER DRIPS DOWN THAT BOLT N STARTS RUSTING OUT YOUR SUB-FRAME. ALTHOUGH MY FRAME DIDNT GET DAMAGED THE HEAD OF THE BOLT SNAPPED OFF. N THE CAR FRONT END STARTED MAKING NOISES AND BOUNCED AROUND AT HIGH SPEEDS 85-100MPH.AND I HAD TIRES SPEEDBALENCED N ALIGNED. NOW WITH THIS BOLT SNAPPED DODGE WILL TELL YOU WE HAVE TO DROP YOUR SUB FRAME. BUT WHAT I DID GOT A COUPLING SCREWED IT ON TOP PUT BOLT IN OTHER SIDE CRANKED DOWN ON BOLT TILL IT STARTED COMING OUT BOTTOM. THE COUPLING IS M14 WITH 2.0 PITCH THE SUB FRAME BOLT IS ALSO A M14 WITH A TWO INCH BOLT. MIND U I AM A BACK YARD OLD SCHOOL CAR GUY THESE NEW CARS IM LEARNING. ANYHOW I BELEIVE THE DEALER DOES SHIT TO YOUR CAR THAT WILL MESS UP DOWN THE ROAD LIKE TAKE THAT PATCH OFF. WHEN I REPLACED THAT PATCH I DRILLED 3 HOLES N USED PUSH IN TYPE LIKE RIVETS LIKE THEY USE ON INTERIORS TO MAKE SURE THAT PATCH DOESNT COME OFF IF WATER LOOSEN GLUE

OK GUY MINE IS A 2009 CHALLENGER 1ST GENERATION WITH A MANUAL TRANS. ONLY 44K ALWAYS GARAGED N YES I SAW ROT IN MY WHEEL WELL STARTING ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO. NOW IF YOU PUT YOUR FINGER BETWEEN THE FRONT PART OF YOUR REAR WELL YOU WILL FEEL A DOUBLE LIP. YOU HAVE TO SILICONE THAT N THEN TRY TO SILICONE THE GAP BETWEEN THE PLASTIC WELL N THE BODY. THATS WHERE ALOT OF WATER GETS IN . THE INSULATTION IN THERE IS LIKS A SPONGE N SOAKS UP MOISTURE. I WAS GOING TO TAKE WELL OFF N PAINT ANTI-RUST (FIND ON EBAY) ON REVERSE SIDE BUT DOUBLE LIP PREVENTS THAT. THE FRONT IS A DIFFERENT STORY YOU CAN ACSESS THE BACK OF YOUR FENDER SO GET A SET OF PLASTIC PUSH INS (ON EBAY) SO U CAN REPLACE THEM. MULIPLE DIFFERENT ONES. MY DRIVERS SIDE IS SHOWING SOME BUBBLING NOW TO. I DONT KNOW HOW TO POST VIDS SO POST 4 ME LOL IN THE FRONT AT BOTTOM BACK YOULL SEE THERES A BIGG AERA THAT HAS TO BE SEALED,WHERE ROCKER PANEL MEETS FENDER.

Thanks for posting this! Most epic and awesome! 🤘🏻

Pretty sick. I'm still on the fence on getting one. Kiesel rules. I love my Crescent

When I bought mine, the standard jack location was on the bottom and I optioned it to the inside for a cleaner look. Kinda wish I hadn't done that. Seems like their build times have gone quite a bit too. I don't remember exactly now but I think it was more like 6 weeks in 2009. The pickup angle on a gibson is the way it is because the neck is pitched at an angle to give the TOM bridge enough height. I kinda prefer the feel of a pitched neck, but my Carvin is it's own animal and cool in its own way.

Awesome bro! I'm thinking of getting one. I love my Crescent

I have plenty of questions if you can please reply to this comment mines a 2019 R/T!
