Yep, it's good stuff. I did a USA Custom neck in the vintage Amber tinted stain and sprayed it out with nitro...for a 1st time effort I was pleased with it.

I have never personally used their products, but I have a couple of friends who have and their experiences were like bobbymack's...first class products.

Bobbymack-was there a lot of sanding, levelling, etc or did you just spray on a few coats and then finish sand?

I've used it a bunch and it's worth the money and wait (but they usually have it here within about 3 to 5 days via UPS). The great thing is there is hardly any curing time. Easy buffing, comes out smooth and SHINY and hard.

A couple of mine turned out rough but that was only cause I didn't care about a 20 dollar pawn shop pos guitar and didn't take the time.

Bill uses quality lacquer, can't say the same for other spray bombs out there.

I had USA Custom finish sand the neck (rock maple) for me, and it was ready to spray. I sanded lightly between coats. And yeah, it dries nice and hard. I used the satin finish and it came out great feelwise, with zero stickiness...

looking more and more like I'm going to do this..some questions for the refin'ers here..

1) When I'm sanding between coats, do I just take the gloss off the coat? then wipe and respray? lather.rinse.repeat?

2) how long should I wait between coats?

3) I've read that you can get the same type of paint at autobody stores?

any other tips would be grand...

thanks..
