DIY Sparkle guitar painting and finishing

- Here is how I made a guitar painting close to a pro result, only with spray can and in my little garage!
I'm an amateur DIYer trying to learn how to make guitars in my little workshop. I'm not a professional luthier and I'm equipped as a "Sunday handyman", so bear with me :)
Subscribe to follow me in this adventure until the end of the project! Have a nice time!
The musics used are mine.

[EN] - Some datas :)
- 8 days of work spread over 6 weekends (mostly drying time)
- 2 cans of primer, 1 can of pink paint, 1 can of glitter and 2 and a half cans of varnish (I need to figure out what to do with the rest of the varnish before it's wasted)
- 135€ of paint and sanding paper, without counting the polishing products and the polishing foam...
I hope this made you want to try it, have fun!

[FR] - Quelques stats :)
- 8 jours de travail réparti sur 6 week-ends (majoritairement du temps de séchage)
- 2 bombes d'apprêt, 1 bombe de peinture rose, 1 bombe de paillettes et 2 bombes et demie de vernis (faut que je trouve quoi faire du reste du vernis avant qu'il ne soit perdu)
- 135€ de peinture et de papier à poncer, sans compter les produits de lustrage et les mousse de polissage
J'espère que ça vous a donné envie d'essayer, have fun !
To avoid sanding off most of your base layer of primer, shoot a layer of clear lacquer or sanding sealer first (and let it cure properly). Level that layer before applying the primer. It makes the process thereafter much faster.
Aussi, si vous en avez une, apportez une impermiable plastique pour eviter des petits fibres des vestements à poluer le painteure.
Final result looks great.
@@peachmelba1000 Yeah, I didn't had sanding sealer at that time. But the main problem for the first layer was my prep sanding... It wasn't clean enough ^^
It was more work to do, but hey, it works lol 🤷♂
@@peachmelba1000 Yeah you're right! Thanks a lot man!
@@FrenchGuitarGuy On my channel, you'll see a short video of an offset Flying V I finished last month. That guitar's finish has three tiny grey fibers in it at various spots. I didn't noticed until after I shot the lacquer lol
A lot of people don't appreciate the struggle of making or finishing a guitar at home without the proper tools. It's a long, tedious process and usually criticized.
You did a great job, specially on the custom spray booth! very creative!
Amazing results!
Thanks man!! It means a lot 🙂
This video will be my guide when i start to work on my Strat. Thank you very much for this.
Have fun!
This came out incredible! Ill be trying this soon!
Un des meilleur tutoriel pour un excellent résultat! Wow oui j'ai envie d'essayer!!! Merci!
Merci beaucoup pour ton retour 🙂 N’hésite pas à me dire comme ça s’est passé !
the paint running and the "oh s**t" ohhhhh weve all been there brother haha! thanks for an awesome video!
Very awesome work!
I see you have met my arch nemesis… sanding! To me that is the most tedious part of the build. You should spray in controlled passes, not the back and forth motion you use. That’s why you got runs.
Killer result man.
Excellent!
That metallic paint from Montana Cans is known for those drips. The nozzles are designed for graffiti murals so they are focused and put a lot of paint in a small area. I had the same problem painting a guitar with the copper metallic. Good job though. You are much more patient than I.
Great job!!
Thank you!
Sick! BTW, kudos to you for sticking with a filler that sprays on like popcorn ceiling. OMG! Looks like you spent HOURS sanding that stuff...but got there in the end. Looks great
Ahah, thanks a lot! Yeah, finishing requires a LOT of sanding..!
Bah dis donc ! Tu t'es sacrément bien démerder pour la peinture et le vernis ! Bravo superbe finition ! 👍
Merci beaucoup ! Pour être honnête cette fois c'est pas ma première expérience de finition de guitare 😄
Le rendu est ouf! Pas fan des paillettes mais là c'est super propre.
Bravo, hyper stylé 👍
Merci 😉✨
That paint job on that axe is impressive !
Thanks a lot!
Wow im doing a build now. Any suggestions for a dark Lake Placid Blue sparkle. You did a fantastic job with the pink spakle.
Thanks! Yeah for dark color, you need to finish with a really fine polishing compound (fine scratches are more visible on dark color)
Impressionnant ! Je suis certain que ma R16 TS de 82 serait aussi flambante après 4000 heures de polissage 🤩
Merci ! Ça c'est sûr ! Globalement ce sont les mêmes méthodes qu'en carrosserie (mais en plus petit ahah).
J'ai usé de la même technique sur mon vieux van aménagé, j'y ai passé un temps de fou mais ça vallait le coup.
Could you try the color shell pink exact color look from the 60s fender telecaster?
? Great job, beautiful finish. Where did you find the three head sander! Did you like using it?
Thanks! It's the "Bosch easy curv sander", very cool little thing
waow superbe !
Merci !
Super !
Merci !
of course the serus j is much thin than this body where did you manage to purchase this body? thanks and nice videos
Thanks, I made it (you can find the build on my videos)
Sounds great! Lol
Thanks!
Super!!!! Hate d entendre sonner 👍👍💕
Merci ! Dans la prochaine vidéo !
@@FrenchGuitarGuy 👍👍👍💕💕💕
What was the 3 pad sander and polisher you used? Thank you
Hi! It's a Bosch EasyCurv Sander, that thing is awesome, I really recommend it
Bro what is that little 3 pad sander I need that in my life
It's a Bosch EasyCurv Sander, that little thing is awesome, I recommend it! (hello @boschfrance1474 👋)
Btw awesome channel man!
Great work ... I shall not be doing that as I'm 52 years old and life is too short ...
Looks terrific though.
Beau résultat et très jolie choix de peinture, même si les méthodes employées n'étaient pas très conventionnelles! Pour un meilleur résultat au ponçage n'hésites pas à utiliser des cales à poncer et tu auras moins de travail ensuite. Pour ce qui est de la peinture en bombe ton mouvement doit être rectiligne. Verticalement ou horizontalement mais le spray doit commencer avant de toucher la pièce et terminer après. car quand tu appuies ou relâche alors que tu es encore sur la pièce la pression de la bombe de peinture n'est plus la même et c'est la que tu risque des coulures ou des "pâtés".
Merci !
absolutely great job! where did you get that body btw? It's beautiful!
Thanks! It's an homemade body!
@@FrenchGuitarGuy I noticed after binge watching all your videos! It's so well finished I thought you bought it somewhere. I personally love offset bodies but I think jazz/jag ones are a bit too elongated and this honestly looks like a better version of those. Good job!
@@lowbeam5005 Thank you very much mate! That's very kind! The next video the next video (or the one after that) will be about that guitar, so stay around :)
Canon 😎
Merci beaucoup !
Where you get the spry paint?
On a french website, you can find this spray can quite easily here in europe
Wet sand from primer on, am I wrong?
Nop, wet sanding only on the final clear coat for the sanding/polishing process!
Le mieux est l'ennemi du bien... arghhh les méchantes coulées 😂
Pour polir à la fin, j'utilise du miror et je polis à la main. Mdr le rasoir 3 têtes 😆
Un petit tuyau pour poncer avant le bouche pores, je pulvérise de l'eau et je laisse sécher. Ça fait ressortir toutes les petites aspérités du bois. Le rendu est velours.
En effet :)
Moi qui voulais refaire la finition d'une de mes basses, quand je vois la masse de taf que ça représente, à savoir que je n'ai pas de garage... Mon dieu 😅😅
Dans tous les cas, bravo pour la patience et le résultat 😉
Je t'invite à essayer un jour sur un petit kit à pas cher, ça vaut le coup, et même si tu n'auras certainement pas un résultat parfait, tu en seras fier quand même ! Faut prendre son temps et être patient (et c'est dur ahah).
Si tu n'as pas de garage, attends le retour des beaux jours avec un temps plus clément, sans trop de vent 👍
Bon courage et merci pour ton commentaire !
Why sand it?
If you don’t sand it each coat just adds to the bumps of the last making them bigger. If you sand in between coats you’re giving each fresh coat a smoother and smoother surface to lay on as divets are filled and high points are sanded away so you gradually improve the flatness of the surface and eventually can get a mirror like reflection at the top once polished.
Sandpaper should only be sold to licensed professionals. Jeez Louise that was painful to see.
Ok bro, can you be more precise?
@@FrenchGuitarGuyI think he meant it is better to use a sanding block rather than hands and folded sandpaper. Also, far better to just dust on a coat that you can see through using long strokes that start and end past the surface you are painting. But hell , your end product came out pretty good.
The end result is all that matters.
