Can you provide some details on the spray equipment please ?
what gun ?
what nozzle size ?
what pressure ?
Do you think a HVLP type would be better ?
Nice final job on the burst too !Spelling mistakes are not intentional, I only seem to see them some time after I've posted

Hi Eddy
Sure thing and thanks.
The sprayguns (I have 3 - two for colours and one for clear) are these mini guns: http://amzn.eu/61eaXHU - they are a pretty generic far eastern cheap gun and I've seen them with several different "brands" from different sellers. Whilst no Devilbiss, they are surprisingly good once you have them dialled in correctly (and kept clean of course). I use a 0.8mm nozzle but I think there is a 1mm variant out there also, if you need more volume.
They are an HVLP gun and I use somewhere around 30 PSI (sometimes as low as 25).
There's a Youtuber called The Gunman (Aussie guy) who has a decent channel and he recommends the ANI miniguns, but I have yet to pull the trigger (pun intended) to get one myself and see how it compares to the generic one I have. Might be a higher quality alternative for not too much more money.
I also have a standard sized HVLP gun from the same manufacturer and whilst it is also useable, its way overkill for guitars as the volume of paint and size of fan it lays down is insane.
Hope that helps.My CNC Projects: https://www.youtube.com/imadethisoncnc

Thanks for the spraying info, very useful.
I've just seen http://behlen.co.uk/ are only selling the General Finishes now in the UK, the Behlen instrument finishes were rather good.
Nice job on the Les Paul Nickhofen, that looks far better now.Spelling mistakes are not intentional, I only seem to see them some time after I've posted
