Re: Rattle cans
Most classical makers now lacquer the back and sides and French polish the sound-board. I like that plan - if I were currently selling guitars, if for nothing more than marketing that's the way I'd go.

Re: Rattle cans
If it was up to me, I'd do it different but this is the way he wants it. Nitro, 3 coats. No leveling, no buffing, no polish.

This guy likes to live dangerously, doesn't he? I guess he doesn't mind the look of orange peel. I hope it starts a trend where we no longer have to make our guitars look like glass. That would be nice.

Re: Rattle cans
I was going to say I did 3 guitars with Deft cans and I got 3 to 4 coats per can. There was alot of waste via overspray and I can't imagine you will get enough on the guitar to protect it or look very good, but hey you are experienced so I know you'll make it look good.
