hi all, I'm shooting this Nitro clear (Mohawk Musical Instrument clear) over AA. the label says to shoot it 4-5 coats, dry 1 h in between. I did that but where ever I have artwork, I get tiny fisheyes!!. Back of the guitar looks good. Then they say, wet sand with 400 using MINERAL SPIRITS? then lay it down again, as before, thinned 1:1. Is that right?

thanks

bump.

I bet this was concerning your custom cut and flamed guitar?

Sure would enjoy to see some finished pictures Lesabb?

50 years back in high school we LOVED lacquer..

however, there was a 'sanding sealer' applied over the wood color/stain, BEFORE the top coat applied..

maybe you can find help there?
IIRR they got 'water based ' car paints, so probably would have an idea how to do what you want.
