SPI Coated SG Style Guitar Body
So here are dome pics of my guitar project so far.
This is intercoat clear tinted with a Titanium white pigment.
A few spots that are not perfect (Spot on left horn, a few air bubbles on the head stock and a couple of runs on the back)
After color sanding some I will be putting a white pearl coat similar to the Cadillac Tri-Diamond White over the base.
Feedback always welcome.
Thanks

OK y'all, i color sanded the base coat and then sprayed on the pearl coat and I realized something very important.
Holy Crap do I need more practice with this gun and this type of material.
Pics for your enjoyment
Not looking too bad..
Still looking not too shabby.. (The spot is from my camera lens)
What the hell are these bumps? Son of a &$%^@.
Grrrr more bumps. Different kind of bumps....
Looks OK from a far....
Not even sure why this happened..
Luckily the flash is disguising the runs.
I know it will get better but damn it I want it better now.
Thanks for looking.

Bare wood
Primed
Tinted intercoat (titanium white) base
Tinted intercoat (pearl white) mid coat
I am pretty sure most of my issues have come from too much material laid on at once. But I am not sure why some of the little black spots are there.
What primer? I bet you're right about the too much material too fast.

I used Barry's favorite automotive primer. (You know the one from a spray can.)

I know its not the best choice but it's what I have.
Eventually I plan on buying the proper stuff but for now it seems to be OK.
