Hey, Ian, thank you for your input. So I have a Fuji HVLP spraying setup, and cannot use a compressor-driven detail gun. I actually have not yet tried spraying a sunburst with it, so with the correct tip (and I assume one of the finer Fuji gun tips would be appropriate), it could work well. TBD.

Is there a problem you are trying to alleviate by not using a gun ? If you are getting a coarse pattern, three things.

1. You may be shooting in a dry environment and the lacquer is slightly curing before it hits. (add a slow solvent like retarder)

2. You could grab a touch up gun that isn’t…

Hi Ken,

I don’t do sunbursts very often, but when I do, I always use an airbrush. That said, there are many factors to consider here. What type of airbrush do you have, and what is your level of experience with it?

Acrylic clear coat partially dissolved sunburst

Hi all,

I’m experiencing a problem with finishing a steel string guitar.

After spraying a sunburst with Colortone liquid stains diluted in thinner (which I left curing overnight), I sprayed a very thin coat of SprayMax 2K Clear coat (https://www.spraymax.com/en/products/product/clear-coats-and-spot-blender/2k-clear-coat/) and, to my horror, saw…
