- In this video I show you how to do an awesome relic paint job with spray cans. We're working on a telecaster body in this one, and using some nice toner lacquer to get a beautiful vintage amber tone.

Gotta love alder. Such a nice wood to work with, especially when it comes to finishing. Alder isn't nearly as exciting as maple, but it isn't as expensive either. The amber looks great, and I really like how it really warmed up the overall look and made the grain lines pop. I don't know if I could have resisted putting a 2 color burst on it. Can't wait to see what is in store for this one next.
Thanks Dave. I’m also a big fan of Alder. I need to find a good source for these bodies so I can start doing a bunch of them haha.
I have 2 relic guitars one that took 30 years to do it was brand new when I was 15 not now. All bashed and dinged but it looks awesome. The other took me a week to do and it’s a fun little project to do I hope you enjoy it Brad...... love the colour the amber is amazing. Keep up the good work
Thanks Stu. Have I seen these two guitars of yours?
Brad Angove you have seen the yellow one I’ll get the other out of the loft as it never comes out the case and send a picture over
a nother series , i know this will be great Brad, like all your other videos my friend, looking forward to the rest of them, thank You for Your Time, in making these and sharing with us, Cheers
Thank you sir.
I really like that colour on a Tele, nice job Brad. Looking forward to the next stage. 👍🏻
love that amber look
With the guitar laying flat on the table, when do I flip it over to paint the other side? Once each coat is dry or what?
I suggest you hang the guitar and spray it all at once.
To do a relic job just use acetone and dye on a rag.
That amber looks really nice!
Hey Brad! I'm one of the people who has been pestering you for a relic, so thanks for doing this. I am looking forward to seeing how it turns out!😁. However, having now seen that body with the fantastic depth of colour, I'm not sure I would be able to start messing with it!! You've given me quite a problem now. I am building a "partscaster" and intended to do a nice light relic. Now I have seen this, I just want to strip it right down to the wood, spray it amber and clear coat it! I am now officially confused 😵 and may never forgive you for this!!! (Hahaha!)
Life’s full of tough choices haha
@@BradAngove First world problems eh?!?!
Indeed.
Is there any difference between nitrocellulose lacquer spray and clear matte lacquer spray? And if ai can't get nitrocellulose type, what can I use to substitute?
Lacquer is a slightly broader term. It’s probably the same. If not it may be acrylic lacquer, which is also fine but won’t age the same way.
Nice one, Brad! after I messed up my spray can paint job I decided to give my yellow Pj a relic work with sand paper and a knife, next time I'll be doing this instead.
How did it turn out?
well, it was my first paint job ever so I can see a couple of spots that I should pay attention next time(like spraying techniques, layers and stuff) but as a project I think it turned out great. it got me started haha

I’m glad it went well for a first crack at it.
Awesome
you have no idea how much your videos have either helped me on a question ive had or triggered an idea to mod one of my babies. keep up the good work and btw.....what is your personel go to guitar you play all the time?
Thanks William. I’m glad you’ve found my stuff useful.
I usually reach for my Ibanez s320, to which I’ve added dimarzios and strap locks.
Cool buddy, great channel man🤘
Thanks for sharing all your knowledge! I'm completely new to all this and I'm think of getting one of those DIY guitar kits, but I don't know how to go about this. I'm thinking spray cans. It's a unfinished basswood body, should I start off with a sealer just like you did here? I also want a turquoise like color to relic a bit, so should the color go on next and then the lacquer? Thanks!
Sand it smooth and then seal it and go ahead with the turquoise lacquer followed by a satin clear lacquer.
@@BradAngove Thank you so much! You are doing a great work to inspire and teach with this channel!
Hey Brad, I'm thinking of refinishing my squier vintage modified precision bass with a nitro white, just because it will look badass when it eventually relics. Since it's a poly finish to start off with, should I remove the current finish completely and then do another sealer before doing the nitro, or if I take the finish completely off, am I fine to do the nitro over the naked wood? Cheers, love all your vids :D
It depends a bit on what type of wood it is. Generally though nitro will soak into bare wood quite a bit, so a sealer will make the process faster and easier.
Where did you get the Telecaster body? I noticed the string through. Solo doesn't offer the string through feature on their kits (unless this is a REALLY recent addition).
I actually picked it up from a viewer/client. Not entirely sure where it came from.
I don’t think Solo offers string through. I’ll have to put together a video on drilling them.
They don't at present. A video would be greatly appreciated.
I will add it to the list.
I would also like to see a video on drilling string thru holes.
Hello Brad, How long between coats on the sealer and the lacquer? Thanks again man.
About 45 minutes on the sealer and 4 hours on this lacquer to a max of 3 coats per day.
Hel Brad!
I want to do a Crack finish but my guitar has a Poly finish...
How I can do the crack effect if I have a Poly finish in my guitar?
You mean the checking that I created on here?
Brad Angove
I mean, the crackling effect when a guitar is old...
Brad Angove How I can do that??
The best way to go about this is to take the poly off your guitar and paint it with nitro.
Hi brad. Good vid man. Is part 2 up yet?
Part 2 will come out on Friday.
Is that work for acrylic spray cans?
This is a nitrocellulose based lacquer. Acrylic will work much the same up to this point. What Brad said during the video rings true. Poly and acrylic doesn't relic very well, you can relic it, but relic'ing poly or acrylic will never look as natural as nitro.
Thanks Dave
@@PicksPaints meaning so you need to spray with it? Because I saw some video, people dulling it and then call it done.
@@firdaushaji2638 realistically, you can do whatever you want.. Not trying to be coy in my reply. The point I was making is acrylics and polys don't wear or show wear like a nitro based paint does. Polys and acrylics are harder finishes and more resilient. You CAN artificially age them. However, they typically don't look naturally aged. And IMO spray is best, as it's easier to get more even/uniform applications of coats/layers.
How I relic: stain, don’t let it dry, let lacquer eat at the stain
Intriguing. What kind of stain?
I really like that colour on a Tele, nice job Brad. Looking forward to the next stage. 👍🏻
Thanks. I’m glad you like it.
