After rubbing out the finish after the last color coat I just put on the first of two or 3 clear coats.
Makes the color pop!
I've had issues with bubbles coming off the brush onto the finish. Trying different things.
Next coat I'll use a foam brush. The good thing is the bubbles with be sanded out in the end.
2nd coat tomorrow.

Wow, I have not brushed on a finish in years. Yours looks good!

I am currently rubbing out the finish by first wet sanding with 800, 1000 and 1500. Then using Turtlewax rubbing compound, polishing compound and scratch remover.
I have the back done yesterday, then my back went out.

It is very smooth and shiny. Probably too shiny for a billing, but I can't help myself. Isn't that what we strive for on our guitars???

I'll get a pic up when I've got it all rubbed out.
