Re: swirl painters comprimise


If you want to get a guitar swirled you can either do it yourself or go to a swirler who has put all the trouble and going through $ 1000,- of paint trying to swirl.

If you want want to swirl it yourself, you have to go through the trial and error proces and try different types of paint.

Don't ask for a cheat mate. We are all in the same boat.

Just some oil based paint. You would need to experiment with different brands to find one that works good, but that would be fun!

So are you going to tell everyone which paint to use or be a hypocrite?

Re: swirl painters comprimise


I've tried so many paints (plastikote/ppg urethanes/enamels) and most of them can work. It's just a matter of knowing how to compensate for variables like Temp, Humidity, thinner/reducer ratio. I've had some work one day and not work the next day. It's a science and you truly have to figure it out for yourself. While I didn't spend $1K, I did spend a lot of money. Those high end PPG paints aren't cheap! I'll post pics once I'm allowed to again
