  • Anyone here tried rattlecanning a nitro finish on an electric?

    I’m in the middle of doing my fifth one. I’d strongly recommend getting your cans from http://www.manchesterguitartech.co.uk. He also has a bunch of useful how-tos and FAQs.

    Your body looks like poplar, or maybe basswood? You’re probably looking at one can each of sanding sealer, primer and colour, and maybe two cans of clear.

    You’re right that it’s a bit of work - but it’s totally doable. Just take your time, and pay attention to the temperature and humidity.
