SPRAY PAINTED BASSES, let's see 'em

[MonsterBass101]

Hey guys who used reranch products. How many cans of paint does it take to refinish one bass? Thanks for the reply

 

[Bottoms_Up!]

I used 1 can of sand sealer, 1 can of primer, 1 can of color, and 2 cans of clear coat.

quick question, how does one do a "burst" finish (sunburst, blue/white burst, etc.) when using spray paint?

Check my Avatar!

Teisco + Spray paint = Wub.

Okay, I'm bumping this thread for reference, but I do have a couple of questions.

I've just finished the sanding portion of my project. What are the next steps? I plan on using Duplicolor (acrylic, yes?)/spray lacquer (black can, yes?), because I am cheap, and it seems like it will do the trick.

Could someone spell out the next couple of steps from sanded hunk of wood? Things like grain fillers, sanding between coats, drying times, etc?

Thanknks! (That is the word my pre-coffee brain just spit out for "thanks" so I am leaving it.)

I'm a big fan of spraying on the primer (quite a few coats) and sanding it down to a very fine grit once dry.

But make sure whatever primer you use is compatible with the lacquer... I made that mistake once (oops!)

I can't remember if I've posted this one or not, but here it is!

An Aria jazz copy, was sunburst with a white PG.

Nice!

Yeah, I'm thinking primer, because I'm pretty sure I'm going with the Ford white (Victory White?).

Edit: It's Wimbledon White

Is there something bad about using the Perfect Match line? I reread this thread and couldn't find it, but that info may have been from another thread.

Well, it used to be a bass anyway.

Painted with white satin rustoleum enamel, and clear-coated with satin wipe-on polyurethane.

Reranch Inca Silver. Dog is original.

Anyone have any feedback on the Rustoleum line of Acrylic Lacquer? Their "Ivory" color is exactly what I am looking for.

 

[Spleenface92]

Rustoleum "Gamma Green" colorshifting paint. and yes...the pickguard.

Did you use a primer? If so, which one?

I used a white primer by plasti-kote which did the job well. Might be worth checking their website out (I don't have it as I'm on my phone but google will come up with it )

Thanks, I'll check it out!

I've found the site for you mate, and the primer I used was on this page. White primer item 1145

The other paints in this chart are perfect for going over the top of that, they've got all sorts!
