if u notice , its a Satin Finish.... like gloss better, would need a spray of Poly for my liking

I'm gonna build some floating shelves later this week like the tank stand, burn em, & gloss finish this time

They have spray can poly & my homie uses it all the time for small jobs like plaques & pens. Holds up really good according to him. Satin, semi, or gloss like $10 a can.

We bought a quart & used his Wagner sprayer to do my tank stand tho, spray can woulda looked good, but taken longer & cost more.

Even the brush on lays down pretty good. Same homie has some deck chairs he built a few years ago that still look great & are smooth to the touch

Talk to me about this stuff!? I saw it at the Dollar Tree and it's been sitting here for a couple years, I was going to use it on my satellite dish because the snow sticks to it and I lose my picture, what else is it good for??

The only oscar I ever knew was a huge attack oscar and if you got close to the tank he'd jump out of it trying to get whatever you might have in your hand. At least that's what I remember. He bit the hand that fed him.

Have u ever bought a real Gibson Les Paul?

I missed this comment this morning. No I have not really been comfortable playing those. Although i think they are the best looking electrics. I did have a nice sg once. A santana sg.

Theres a product you mix in your paint, that doesnt show brush mark's when using brushes.


@basscaptain
A painter? Body shop? I hated the cups, and absolutely loved the new system we got 10yrs back. I painted and dud bodywork for GM show car division.

hey Demon, if/when I get a DIY kit to build a guitar, would be cool to get some help when it comes time to put a finish on it , if ur down, sure would appreciate it .....and anyone else that knows how to do it... I can set them up....but the finish part would be looking for help...

Prepping is 90% of a paint job. Spend a little more time wet sanding to perfection, and the end result will speak for itself.

I remember spending 16hrs just to flat sand and polish a hood of a vehicle. 150hrs is the norm on a show car. Tear down, prep, paint, rebuild, detail, back on the truck.
