Members Elias Posted November 20, 2008 Members Share Posted November 20, 2008 bump for pics.This is seriously awesome! Had I seen a finish like this on a production guitar I probably would have avoided it (just not my style I guess), but seeing the work you put in and watching it come together has changed my mind on it. You've definitely done some great work on this project! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GuitarNoobie Posted November 28, 2008 Author Members Share Posted November 28, 2008 you guys will be happy to know that today i have begun my final sanding and buffing.this make take some time as the clear is cured very well and is very tough. i have spent about 30 mins on it so far and i only have about 1/4 of the back of the guitar sanded.i am removing all orange peel before a final buffing. all my lower grit sand papers are gone. i started with 1000 grit, but quickly moved down to 800 (my lowest in stock) and it is slow going.... if i had some 400 grit, i would probably start with it...i also have some meguiars fine-cut cleaner which i may try in place of the sand paper, but i don't think it will cut through like 800 grit sandpaper.anyway, when finished, i will do a final buff with meguiars swirl remover 2.0 and then a guitar wax....good news is that the portion i have sanded is smooth as a babys ass....

Members GuitarNoobie Posted November 28, 2008 Author Members Share Posted November 28, 2008 allright, i gotta head to the auto parts store for more sandpaper. the 800 grit is killing my arm trying to get all the orange peel out and the 1000 grit still left some slight scratch marks.so off to the store for some 1200 grit and 400 grit...but, here's a pic of a small portion that i went ahead and applied the fine-cut and swirl remover. getting a real nice shine and reflection...better photo's later and we will have to get sunshine shots later as it's raining here today and it's almost dark anyway...
