bumnote Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Heres another Im just in process of spraying one myself but its a strip down to the raw wood job.

Most US companies won't ship flammables outside the US.

I dont think fender use cellulose anymore as a norm although they may do in the customshop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
