Hi all,
First time post here. I thought I’d ask those knowledgeable about paint. I have an obsession with PERFECT paint on electric guitars, which is almost always automotive. In a recent project I had a repaint in two part urethane. It turned out great but not perfect as there’s a n almost orange peel that makes the reflections scatter a bit. For instruments, painters ofter apply finish thin because of dogma so a I’m hesitant to do a lot of sanding/compounding. I’ve also previous applied ceramic like Mother’s CMX on others with great results. Does anyone know how ceramic coatings sand and compound? It’s not going to be in the rain or etc so it should be a permanent coat. I’m thinking that if I layer the ceramic I should have room to wet sand at 2000 grit up and compound without hitting clear coat. Any experience here?
Thanks!
