I've had ok experience painting solid colors but the thought of spraying metal flakes has me completely intimidated. I'm mostly concerned with the process between color coats and clear coats. what grage paper do I prep the final color coat with before laying down the flakes? If I do two colors of metal flake, what work needs to be done between the two? How do you prep the metal flake coats for the clear coats?
Man, with so many beginner questions, I wonder if this is something that I should just pay a professional to do. I'd hate to ruin an otherwise great project guitar with a bad finish. How much should I expect to pay someone to do final prep, grain filler, primer coat, color coats, metal flakes, and clear coats?
Any help would be super appreciated.
