    Yes it starts to become a little more opaque the more you lay it on. No it never really gets close to black. It can look very dark brown in muted light, but if you hit it with stage lighting for instance, it is brown and still translucent.

    yeah i thought that was the case. Well, fantastic job! I am going to be starting a project this summer but I'm trying to collect as much information/do as much reserach as possible before beginning.

    Yes..all correct. Regarding #3, The burst paint is lacquer. It's the same clear lacquer used throught the entire process, it just has 10% brown dye added to it.

    Thanks. It's true that UV will fade many dyes, especially aniline dyes. Some people like to use aniline dyes that fade easily under UV exposure though... for example, somebody wanting to spray a vintage looking burst will actually spray a bright red aniline burst, then expose it to the sun so that it fades to an "ice tea" shade.
    I mostly use metal complex dyes for bursts and trans finishes, they are very UV resistant (lightfast).

    I did the brown burst later in the day after the yellow.

    @fakiirification 12 лет назад

    if you have a air compressor, spray guns are not too expensive. if you dont have the air compressor, use rattle cans from the auto parts. they are usually higher quality in the spray heads and actual paint inside, than what you find at the typical hardware store.

  • @FreddysFrets
    @FreddysFrets  13 лет назад

    @TomboLP
    I thinned the lacquer 2 parts lacquer 1 part thinner. But that all depends on what type of lacquer, what type of gun, air pressure, cap and needle size....so this really doesn't mean anything to anyone else. If I had used my DeVilbiss EGA gun I would have had to thin the lacquer more. The dye was added to the lacquer and then thinned because the dye itself thins the lacquer somewhat.

    What would you suggest to use as a sprayer for someone who just wants to do some finishing on a couple of Warmoth Guitar bodies? I've got a Les Paul body that I want to silverburst, and an explorer body that I want to satin finish.

    well, its a bit different process, since you cant "thin" stuff thats already mixed in a can, but if your careful you can get a similar result. a silver burst should be very easy to get with cans.

  • @TomboLP
    @TomboLP 13 лет назад

    This is intimidatingly perfect spraying - if I tried that, there'd be a huge mess! Time to practice...
    Can I ask what ratio of lacquer to thinner you use - and does the dye get added to the pure lacquer, or to the mix?

    Can you tell me what spray gun and size compressor you use. I've never sprayed anything beyond cans before and am looking to buy an LVLP gun but not sure what size compressor I would need to do this type of work without issues. Beautiful work !! Thanks in advance. Please advise if you have any info that can help me.

    • @FreddysFrets
      @FreddysFrets  8 лет назад

      +Jim Munhall In this video I'm using a Fuji HVLP gun and a turbine, no compressor. But I have other guns (Iwata HVLP and also regular DeVilbiss) that use a compressor. If you get a compressor get at least a 5 gallon tank.

    Hey Freddy, just about to burst my Strat. What's the secret to a smooth blend with no obvious overspray? My touch up gun doesn't seem to atomise as finely as yours. Cheers, Tom

    • @FreddysFrets
      @FreddysFrets  7 лет назад +2

      Hi Tom, the secret is to make sure the dye/lacquer ratio is not too strong. Much better gradient when you have to do multiple passes to achieve the depth of colour you want.

    • @1983Beardo
      @1983Beardo 7 лет назад

      FreddysFrets legend thank you so much. I used a 10:1 ratio but with my dye I think it's too much because the lacquer is totally opaque! The woods on your guitar are unreal btw

  • @fakiirification
    @fakiirification 12 лет назад

    more or less, i would suggest practicing the technique on a scrap of wood before you hit up the actual guitar, so you can see how quickly the burst color builds and how far away you need to hold the can to get the fade effect you want on the edges.
