Steps to Repaint Your Guitar
First step to repaint your guitar is to remove the excess grain filler and sand back the guitar until you have got a surface prepared for painting. Remember you are prepping the body of the guitar for painting at this time and any issues with the surface will become exaggerated with each coat you apply from this point.
Next you need to begin applying your undercoat. Always make certain you apply each coat gently, countless coats isn’t a problem and is advisable to avoid runs. Once you have a good surface to color on let the guitar dry (usually 12 hours) and then get ready to apply your color.
When applying your color coats don’t forget to spray the guitar from a distance of roughly 2 feet and move quicky over the surface applying light coats. Build the color up as you go with each coat and avoid runs that are difficult to remove and slow your progress. You should also follow this process with your seal coats. You could need to let the guitar dry completely which can take anywhere up to 4-6 weeks before it’s possible to start polishing using stell wool or a fine grain sandpaper to truly get a polished appearance to your electric guitar.
