So i messed up with my warmoth build

[brandon.miller]

So I bought my warmoth neck and accidentally got the vintage tint satin finish. What would be the best way to refinish it with vintage tint gloss? Oh btw it's nitro satin and I want a nitro gloss. Could you just spray nitro gloss over a nitro vintage tint satin since I know someone who could spray nitro.

I found out today as it shipped haha

 

[hdracer]

I would play it fist. I love the feel of satin nitro

 

[dannster]

Just polish it. My satin nitro finish on my bass body is getting all kinds of glossy on the parts I touch or rub against.

 

[fretno]

yup I doubt you or anyone will be able to notice , but it would probably just need a top coat from a qualified painter .

i wasn't aware that warmoth offers nitro finishes. but whether it's poly or nitro, you can shoot a couple of coats of gloss nitro over it, or, as stated above, most satin finishes can be buffed/polished to a high gloss.

Ya I love satin nitro.... just hand polish with a LIGHT polish

 

[brandon.miller]

Any recommendations on what kind of polish to use?

Ok got another question I also have another neck that is a maple neck with a poly nitro finish that I want to redo as a nitro gloss finish. How would you go about that? Maybe more specifically removing the poly satin so I could apply the nitro gloss

You may have better luck asking this over in Luthiers Corner or Hardware, Setup, and Repair.

not sure what a 'poly nitro' finish is (?), (since they're usually poly or nitro) but you could scuff it with 400 w/d, use the satin finish as the sealer, and shoot a few coats of gloss nitro over it.

Warmoth's satin neck finishes are Nitro, and their gloss is Poly. All body finishes are Poly.

Yeah you should be able to simply buff the satin finish to a glossy shine, I've done it lots of times.

 

[brandon.miller]

Oh sorry I meant poly satin finish

 

[joeyl]

get some high grit micro mesh or abralon pads and start rubbing the neck, it will get glossy .

as far as removing poly from a neck, if it is regular non catalyzed poly, you should be able to use a chemical stripper

I always wondered why they don't do satin poly or gloss nitro on necks. Is there a specific reason for that?

 

[BadB]

I was under the impression that Warmoth does polyurethane finishes only, satin or gloss.

Alright. Here's the skinny. I've ordered two all maple satin nitro necks from warmoth just to get the nitro finish (one bass, one guitar), but like you, I wanted gloss. To get it, it's simple. Buy some Virtuoso Cleaner, and any kind of polish you like. I prefer the Ken Smith Wax, or Virtuoso's polish.

1. Apply the cleaner with a nice soft shammy. Buff it out. Do this twice, or three times if you feel you need to.
2. Do the same, with a different shammy, using the polish. You should have a sparkling gloss in no time.

A picture to compare:

Both the bass, and the two-tone strat are warmoth 'satin nitro' necks after buffing. The butterscotch blonde tele, and the honey blonde strat are gloss nitro necks from the factory (allparts and fender, respectively).

Hope you're able to get that glossiness you're looking for.

if it is catalyzed poly, better get the dynamite!

yep no more finish but no neck either

Ok so I'm jut gonna gloss the neck on my warmoth. Who knows I might get use to the satin. As for my All maple poly satin neck what kind of stripper should use? I hears to put my neck in a trash bag with some stripper and then take a razor to it to get the poly off. Is this true or the best way?
