It's good to see you back able to make videos again love the videos lots of technical info content in your videos they really help alot of us out here. I was wondering if you have ever done one of the dip style paint jobs where you take a big enough container of water to completely to submerge the guitar in ,first you pour your first color of paint in it will float on top of the water ,then pour your second color in ,then your third you put as many as you want,after all the p as in is in you take a stick and swirl the paint back and fourth gently until you get a pattern in the water you like the you take the guitar holding it flat face up and slowly dip it in at maybe a 75%angle slowly all the way down until body is fully is submerged then pull it out taking care watching out for the paint. You should have a beautiful swirl paint design all over the whole guitar body.
I’m quite familiar with this paint jobs, but I’ve never been any good at them. They’re very cool though.
Concise and accurate information! Thanks 😊
Thanks for watching
Thanks!
Thanks Yvan!
Good stuff man.
Thanks
Excellent video, perfect explanations for beginners especially concerning speed, distance, and overlap. Nice pun lol
Haha thanks
TEN THIRTY at night Brad. And you got me Googling the words, "Equidistant" and "Substrate". 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 Great video
Haha bad habits. Sorry Brian.
@@BradAngove No biggie. I LERNT today
😎👍
Temperature needs to be as consistent as possible if you are spraying over a couple of days. Other than that, listen to Brad!!!
That’s certainly helpful
Hi! I’ve been following your videos cause I’m working on my first project ever. I was wondering if there was a method or special paint that is recommended to use for custom painting designs. I’d like to have a one color base on my guitar, and have a custom painting over it. Can I spray my guitar with the base color and the paint over it with brush and acrylics? Or what would be the best way to have a good finish? Thank you for your time!
There are lots of options for adding designs. Airbrushing is the method that comes to mind for me. You can do it with a number of different paint types. I like the autoair and wicked automotive acrylics personally.
I have been experimenting lately with translucent white paint on a Strat body. I have found it really hard to spray evenly, especially where the belly curve meets the flat top
Yes, the more transparent it is the more difficult. You need to increase the overlap to account for that.
Yes, the more transparent it is the more difficult. You would generally want to increase the overlap to account for that.
Do you have a preference of white primer over white vinyl primer?
It just depends on the paint you’re using after. This primer is a bit easier to sand, but I really like the vinyl stuff as well.
What is made at the place you are filming videos?does not look like a guitar factory?see a lot of nice tools and looks like a big place?thanks
It’s definitely not a guitar factory. They make a variety of things there. Many custom awards, signs, promotional items like glassware, and some parts and such.
Hey Brad, i’m thinking of finishing my strat in nitro lacquer, but I have a friend doing some artwork on the body. What part of the process should the art happen, after the color coat and before clear coat or after the clear? Thanks
Before the clear coat so that it can be protected.
@@BradAngove would acrylic paint be fine or what type of paint is safe to use with nitro
The acrylics paints that I’ve used have all worked fine with nitro.
@@BradAngove Thanks I appreciate it alot
👍👌💯😎🎸🎸
I thinking of painting my guitar with spray paint and then put some coats of poly on top, would that work?
Yeah, as long as you select a compatible spray paint.
Before you started painting, the body looked shiny. Was that just lighting, or did you put some kind of clear coat on first?
It had clear sanding sealer on it, which I had sanded and cleaned before moving on to this step. I will be publishing a full series on this paint job soon.
@@BradAngove Nice, thank you.
Which video do you show us buffing the cutaways in? 😁😁😁 Seems important, but I can only ever find videos of you buffing the flat surfaces.
I almost never mess with the cutaways. If you get a good coat in there it looks smooth because the surface area is so small.
@@BradAngove Gotcha. I did see a great tip about gluing a 4 inch foam paint roller on to an aluminum rod and spinning it with a drill to polish cutaways, but the "f--k it" method definitely has an allure to it. 😁
My cutaways do look nice and shiny (strat) and I wondered if there was any shame in leaving well enough alone. Plus it's a glitter metal flake finish, and I have stock high end guitars with those and the finish isn't even completely flat, so I feel like I'd be in good company. I used Krylon Glitter Blast Grape Glitz, if you can believe that, and it was hell getting there, but 6 cans later it looks pretty awesome, just like the can lid (tiny ripoff cans, mind you). Crystal Clear 1303 for the clear coat, at least 4 full cans. Maybe overkill hahaha. I'm still afraid to sand it, but I've seen reviews for the stuff saying you can buff it with no compound and get it shiny, with a photo of a beautiful glassy glossy Fender headstock, so I'm going to try that first before I pull out the 1000 grit. I ordered a Ryobi 18v 6 inch buffer with cotton & wool pads.
@@BradAngove How long do you need to wait to buff acrylic? I finished it at about 3am EST today (Sunday) and the buffer won't be here until tomorrow afternoon. Is that long enough?
Generally no. Acrylic takes a few weeks to really harden.
@@BradAngove Thanks!
Beginner's luck is not the best option...😊
"Keep the can equidistant from your substrate". OK doctor.
Too pedantic?
@BradAngove nah, loved it. Just thought it sounded vaguely medical.
Useful information Brad, as always. I've learned a ton from you and I'm a paint guy!! Thank you! ✌️🤍
Thank you Todd
