@naminnooman Thank you. Glad you liked the video. I think that is a devilbiss finish line gun. Basically any gun will work if you have the correct needle size and set up your gun properly, correct flow, correct pressure, correct viscosity etc.
I have done fantastic finish work with an inexpensive touch up gun from harbor freight. A larger compressor allows you to spray longer without waiting for the compressor to catch up. Not a big issue for guitars though. You could also just use an HVLP system with a turbine. There are some models that are not very expensive.
Excelente Robby, como siempre un video muy detallista y simpático, a veces quisiera golpearme la cabeza por no haber aprendido inglés, bueno... escuchando varias veces puedo entender bastante...gracias maestro... bendiciones. "Juanca"
@COlson1968 Thanks for the feedback. I always tell my students that if you want to really learn how to finish, go talk to the car finishers! They are the masters. Happy Finishing!
@naminnooman Basically any compressor will work. However, you want it to have a enough power and capacity to not have to wait for the compressor to "catch up" It needs to be able to supply constant air flow and pressure to the gun. On the green guitar I am applying lacquer clear topcoat over dyed maple and shellaced
@187MIAMIBOY Smaller needle sizes are for low solid products like stains and dyes and larger needle sizes are for higher solid products like lacquer and urethanes. Usually a needle between 1.3mm and 1.5mm will work for most products and applications. You can also thin the products you arer spraying if they are not atomizing well
I spray three to four coats a day and then level the next day before spraying another three to four coats. I spray usually 2 or 3 days before wet sanding and buffing. Don't forget to let the finish cure before attempting to level and buff
Have you tried the Devilbiss FLG4 (finish line). It's fairly inexpensive and I find that it sprays much nicer than the Startingline. It's also lighter, and comes in a water-borne compatible version if you're interested in that at all.

Great video! Nice to see how you set up the spray gun!

NO, however, in the upcoming online electric guitar building course we show how to bind and finish a Les Paul. It should be available early in 2014.
very good ObrienGuitars !
Still teaching stuff to wannabe Luthiers. :) Thank you.
Glad it worked.
Happy Spraying!
