    You don't need expensive equipment to get a high quality paint job (on anything). I walk through all of the steps to refinish a guitar with nitrocellulose lacquer from stewmac.com . It takes some elbow grease, but the results are pretty good. (Paint results are better than my guitar playing!)

    Nice tribute to Commander Cody at the end. I know this was shot way before his passing. But nice to hear anyway. And the guitar looks freaking great. I don't use Nitro on my stuff, but you got it down, my man.

      Yeah it’s a great trick, especially for projects with a bunch of different screws.

    Really nice job, Beck.
    What was in the tube of stuff you used with the "better than Bondo" filler...some kind of activator?

    • @AdamBeckSpeed
      @AdamBeckSpeed  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      yeah its called "creme hardener" you use it in all types of body filler to harden - otherwise it'll stay goo forever. The stuff I used is called "Evercoat Rage" it's good stuff. All evercoat stuff is good. It sands nicely where Bondo is kind of sticky and clumps up.

    Hi, I've just re watched your video on refinishing the guitar body,I don't have 4000 grit paper to sand,can I use 5000 grit?

    • @AdamBeckSpeed
      @AdamBeckSpeed  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes. You’re talking after paint and clear you can go as fine as you like. It may just take a little more elbow grease. BEFORE paint though, don’t go finer than 400.

    Hi, nice video.
    when I sand my guitar to take the paint off it make scratches what should i do?

    • @AdamBeckSpeed
      @AdamBeckSpeed  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If you have scratches, you need to keep sanding with finer sandpaper. go all the way to 400 grit, like I outlined in the video at about 2:20 mark.

    great instructions. How would you go about doing a satin finish?

      same way. Just use a satin clearcoat and stop there. Dont wet sand or buff.

    • @AdamBeckSpeed
      @AdamBeckSpeed  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I just did coats of black until it was solid color and the clear until I ran out. I would say 2-3 coats of base (black) is plenty and I would do 2 cans of clear next time.

    Paint looks great, although the wire cutter use bothered me. I’d just unsolder everything that needed to be unsoldered. It doesn’t really take that much more time, and the results look more professional inside.

    You should have stripped off that nasty poly finish if you're gonna use nitrocellulose paint.
    Nice job all the same though.
