I purchased this Korina husk from a well known Luthier in East MI. Its currently raw wood, ready for finish.
I have never "painted" a guitar before. I dont have a spray booth. I would have to do the painting in my garage. If i were to attempt to finish this husk, I would have to do it with Graceys Nitro in a can. I want to do it in a light amber tint.
From the research I've done so far, I would have to buy....
2 cans of sealer.....$40
2 cans of amber.....$40
3 cans of clear........$60
1 can of black........$20
Plus multiple pieces of sandpaper and masking tape.
Another big problem is that i dont have a buffing wheel. I could probably buff it with a buffing wheel attached to my cordless drill...which i have done before to buff out haze and light scratches on other guitars in the past.
OR
I could just pay to have it finished!!!!
WHAT WOULD YOU DO????
