- In this video we are going through three different, easy ways to get a nice smooth satin finish. Satin finishes can be challenging because you can't really polish them, but they look very clean and can give that nice vintage look that many people love.

Hail Satin!
I laughed much harder than I should have🤘
Sometimes "corny" is the best funny🙃
@@valvenator i've been waiting for an opportunity to use it for so long, I am eternally grateful to Brad for this :)
good advice on satin being the last clear coat. i usually tell newbs that all paint is naturally full gloss, and flattener is added to get different finishes - flat, satin, eggshell, semi-gloss, etc etc.
Indeed
Never knew how complex painting a guitar was until I ran into your channel. I used to paint houses with my old man when I was younger as a side job. So watching these videos is kind of a therapy as a painter. Learning alot on guitar painting and materials out there from you. Subscribed!
Thanks; welcome aboard.
I’ve used Oxford Satin and it works great ..I really like all of the paint they sell
Thanks for the great video Brad, Cheers
Cheers Dan
Great video Brad. Quick and informative. Just like I like it. Thanks 🇨🇦👍
Cheers Brian.
Great and useful video!
Thank you
Brad, Thanks for your help, especially your series on the Solo ES335 kit. It inspired me to try it myself and after a few mess ups I am very pleased with the results. I don’t have a well ventilated shop and my wife is very sensitive to strong odors, so I thought I’d try something water based. I found some varathane water based poly that I could brush on with a foam brush. I used trans tint red stain and found I hadn’t sanded all the sealer off. What a mess! I eventually added the tint to the poly and gave it three coats sanding lightly between coats. Then I applied about twelve coats of clear poly gloss and let it dry for two weeks. I started sanding with 400 and gave it two more coats of clear and let it dry a couple days before using 800, 1000, 1500, 2000 and 3000 and 3M rubbing compound. I had my doubts but it came out pretty nice. Installed some epi probuckers that sound great after some wiring repairs and adding an extra ground between the tone pots. I appreciate your channel. Again, thanks!
Glad to hear it worked out Edward!
The Odie’s finish is what I’ve been looking for. I had a 1980ish Ibanez that looked like that and I’ve been trying to figure out how to replicate it. Thank you
Glad I could help
Hello brad. I’ve been following your videos, and I’m working on a tele finishing project. I think I’ve decided on sealer (shellac aerosol) paint (rust oleum 2k purple paint+primer) but I am not totally decided on what clear coat to use for a satin finish. Let me know if my choices are ok so far, and what your recommendation would be for a clear coat! Much love from Wisconsin, hope you and your family are well.
Hi Sam, those should work. Although I don’t love the combo paint and primer cans, they generally perform ok. Rustoleum also has their painters touch satin clear, which is probably a decent option based on your selections.
2:15 Dear Brad many thanks, I'm painting my guitar with satin white, then spray with satin clear coat, after the clear coat, do I sand or wet sand? what grit please? or do I polish with buffing compound?
I generally dry sand, then polish. I have several videos on sanding and polishing that will be much better than me trying to explain in a reply.
Do I have to lacquer a sanded guitar neck? I like it how it is after sanding but people say you have to lacquer it or use satin paint.
I prefer using a thin oil finish because I don’t like the feel of a heavily coated neck.
I used a hard wax oil on my last build, and it's my favourite finish so far. It's easy to apply, quick to cure, looks and feels fantastic! Really great for the back of the neck as well.
Yes it’s a wonderful neck finish.
Ive recently bought a Suhr modern in Satin finish but have some slight dents that look like scratches.....
Can i steam out a dent through a finish like this or would it ruin the finish?
I expect that would ruin the finish. Almost like a water mark on a wooden coffee table.
Tried the satin look using Varathane for my last build to have a clear finish over barn wood. It did the job, but is still soft and still leaves fingernail imprints after many months. Have you ever used the CRYSTALAC products from Solo? I have no place to use anything spray, or with harsh vapors. These look like they would do what I am looking for but can not find to much on how they work. Have the urge to do another build, but unsure how to get the finish I am looking for in the space I have to work.
I’ve used them a bit, but Chris from Highline guitars is more familiar with them. I’d ask him.
MAH-MAN! I stumbled upon your channel out of a search I did for finishing ideas for guitars - I just ordered an "M6" guitar from PRECISION GUITAR KITS. You should check that guitar out if you haven't seen it already! It's quite a gorgeous piece. Anyway, the neck and body will be African Mahogany, and I was thinking of finishing the neck and headstock without color, more "natural," then taking some black stain to the body... I was curious as to what the combo of African Mahogany with black stain would look like... 🤔🤗🤣
Sounds like a fun project. Those kits are beautiful.
Hiya I just came across your channel but very interesting question do you know of any tips on building a guitar from scratch I'm looking for a 3 necked guitar but the few I have been quoted right now are out of my price range so I'm looking at a way I can do it myself but also works well is there a kit for one you know or should I get a kit and modify it to a 3 necked
Yes I been looking into it I'm very interested in the one I want to build
Sorry I misread your prior comment. I will be posting a series on building from scratch, but I’m not the best guy for that sort of thing. You should check out maximum guitar works, Texas toast guitars, and crimson guitars. They have lots of content on that.
I really liked option #2, Odie's Oil. A bit expensive, but not bad considering how little you used, and the great results.
Do you have an affiliate link by any chance?
It’s available through the solo music gear link in the description, which is an affiliate link.
What's the best way to get bubbles out of your lacquer finish? Thanks in advance
Air bubbles? Did they show up immediately or after a while?
@@BradAngove I am pretty sure it all looked good then an hour or 2 after they showed up.
@@BradAngove 2 or 3 hours later I noticed they were there.
Ok, that is probably solvent from the prior layers bursting through the dry top layer. Does it look like pin holes in the finish?
You’ll need to sand back and re-apply the lacquer if I’m right. It’s caused by coating too heavily and quickly. The top layer dries from air exposure while the earlier coats are still a bit wet and the solvent makes holes/bubbles as it escapes.
@@BradAngove Most of the bubbles are just trapped in the finish. I sanded back and went through into my stain. This is the first guitar I've ever done and I've had every problem you could imagine. I thankyou for all your help I do appreciate it. After sanding it back and applying more lacquer it appears like there are more bubbles.Grrrr, I need to send you a picture of this maybe.
Haaa third!!!
👍👍👍✌️
second!
What about a chalk finish?
Actual chalk, or the chalkboard paint?
