grumble Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 OK my Peavey Milestone (see my post in the porn thread) has finally had its trip to the chop shop. I've defretted the neck ( at the filled and ready to sand stage) and decided that I may as well attack the body while they were seperate. Its originally a dark blue translucent finish and after stripping half the body down with Nitromoors I find I'm down to a rather nice looking stained blue wood finish. Now it may not be to everybodies taste (taste isnt a word that most people associate with me) but I like it. Now the question is where do I go from here ? I had originally planned a respray in a glitter finish but now I'm inclined to try and keep the look its has, so what laquer/wax finish would people recommend. Some sort of satin finish I think but how to do it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Heeley Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 You can do a lot worse than start here with the Reranch 101 web pages - a lot of practical info on finishing guitars using different chemistries, lacquers, varnish, oil, etc. It is a huge subject, and you may also want to read through some of the Project Guitar forum posts on refinishing.
