My Swirl Refinish


Hi all, so ive been doing swirls for a couple years now, and finally got myself a real compressor/spray gun to do the clearcoat with. I have previously used Nitro laquer in a can, but the 2 part auto clear i used is a HUGE step up. After 5 coats, the build up was more than enough, and it took a day to cure. Laquer takes about 15 coats to build enough, and dries forever.
Here are some pics of my RG 7620 with swirl...

Re: My Swirl Refinish


Thanks for the kind words guys!! I have done quite a few UV/PMC/DNA type swirls for others, but i prefer something a bit more subtle for my personal guitars. Plus, i wanted the colors to match that huge fretboard!!
