Thank you, Lars! I do own a small air compressor, but the tank is on the small side. I suppose it could keep up with the fairly minimal air demands of a small detail gun. The point about keeping the air pressure at a sufficiently high level to permit good atomization of the sunburst pigment spray is well taken. Thank you again for your response.

Cheers, Ken

Thank you for the suggestion of the detail gun, but I have a Fuji HVLP setup that cannot accommodate a detail gun. I have not yet attempted any practice sunburst boards with my current setup, but will do so shortly. If all else fails, I would also like to test out using a double action airbrush. I appreciate your input!

Thank you very much, Luc. I do own a Paasche model H single action airbrush and airbrush compressor, but only have limited experience with it. A double action airbrush would undoubtedly have much finer control of the spray density, and would surely be a better choice for applying a sunburst finish to a guitar. Thank you for the suggestion. My current spray finishing setup includes a Fuji HVLP Q5, which does allow for variable speed control, so I may be able to get this to work well for sunburst application. I will see how some practice boards turn out, and can always purchase a quality double action airbrush if need be. I appreciate your help!

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. I will definitely do some practicing on some thin plywood and see how it goes.

Thank you very much. This looks like exactly what I need!
