Thank you for taking your valuable time making these videos! So much hard earned information!

[@1-eye-willy]

i was raised in the paint booth, started painting cars with my dad, and before too long i was painting all my friends guitars and anything else that you would consider spraying with a sray gun. ive got the most experience with ppg.

[@almcmahon47]

Cool vid Matt, thank you. Watched all your paint videos and previously you guys used automotive 2k from ppg. Are the tamco acrylic urethane paints 2k aswell?

[@petestrunk6473]

Thanks Matt,another great informational video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You always got me thinking.

[@jimhibert]

Excellent video. Makes me want to stick with my favorite tung oil.

[@TexasToastGuitars]

I love oil finishes.

[@gxtx6037]

And what model and nozzle size is that Iwata gun, is it HVLP?

[@SkittleKicksPlays]

I've built 3 guitars (one P bass and two LP style) in the past few years but I could not justify spending the cash on a pro level paint system. It's why I have to suffer with rattle cans over a proper paint system. Plus I just suck at painting (I've gotten really good at prep work like sanding). Painting is an art and skill that takes years to develop, but to get started is cost prohibitive for me.

[@crankjazz]

I realise that is something of a naive question, but as it's basically a slab of wood that is being painted, why is it not possible to treat it as a shelf, skirting board, or any other wooden furniture? That is, using a brush or a roller?

[@TexasToastGuitars]

You absolutely could use the same techniques as you use for furniture. It all depends on the results you are after.

[@crankjazz]

Thank you. Much appreciated.

[@nickm.9474]

Well I guess if I were going to be a professional guitar paint finisher I would go this route. But for my own projects I’ll stick to the rattle can.

[@TexasToastGuitars]

Well... People ask me to make videos and I make em. Using these products certainly isn't everyone's cup of tea. Please do not take any of my videos as the only acceptable techniques

[@michaeljarvis5489]

​@TexasToastGuitars Makes sense to me.

[@peternotpeter]

Great instructional video. So Simtec sanding sealer is really polyester resin? same thing you used on your fabric tops?

[@TexasToastGuitars]

Hi Peter, it certainly is the same stuff

[@ToneDeth.]

painting and finishing was easily the most annoying part of my DIY parts caster jobs. And then one was an old Ibanez LP where I had to scrape the binding of a double bound custom. i watched the Gibson factory video where they say they trained their binding scrapers for 6 months before letting them have a go. think in future will just do the oiled finish. or maybe just try a wipe on paint.

[@TexasToastGuitars]

It it far and away the hardest part

[@gxtx6037]

Also: Do you mix the tamco color with reducer? how many parts color to thinner do you use for solid color finishes?

[@TexasToastGuitars]

Great question, each paint is different and the manufacturer will indicate the ratio for paint to reducer. Many of them are 1 to 1 but always remember to check. It will usually indicate on the can but the MSDS sheet is the best place to check.

[@gxtx6037]

Do you sand down the pore fill before applying sanding sealer?

[@TexasToastGuitars]

Very,very lightly

[@eross21]

so is that clear too coat ?you showed toward the end of the video. is that a polyurethane ?

[@TheseusTitan]

What model is your Iwata gun?

[@TexasToastGuitars]

we have a few of them the one in the video is the Richpen 8 and we also have an LPH-400

[@TheseusTitan]

@@TexasToastGuitars Thank you very much, I appreciate it!

[@trinacria1956]

Get what you pay for of course, those are expensive guns.

[@TheseusTitan]

@@TexasToastGuitars Do you use the same needle size for lacquer and acrylic urethane paints? What needle size do you use in your guns?

[@pitchforkcustom]

rattle can £4 to spray gun + air hose + air feed… £250 .. depends what you can afford really 👍

[@TexasToastGuitars]

You are correct. I get a lot of questions about what paints and finishes we use, specific products etc. I am just telling you what we use and have used no judgement about affordability.

[@oldbroncoguy]

Is that pretty much what he said?? Do what you want / can afford - this is just how he does it. Geezee...

I know how to paint and know how to unsubscribe!
