Nice tribute to Commander Cody at the end. I know this was shot way before his passing. But nice to hear anyway. And the guitar looks freaking great. I don't use Nitro on my stuff, but you got it down, my man.
yeah its called "creme hardener" you use it in all types of body filler to harden - otherwise it'll stay goo forever. The stuff I used is called "Evercoat Rage" it's good stuff. All evercoat stuff is good. It sands nicely where Bondo is kind of sticky and clumps up.
sorry to be offtopic but does any of you know of a way to log back into an instagram account? I was stupid lost the account password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me
@Jayson Ares thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Yes. You’re talking after paint and clear you can go as fine as you like. It may just take a little more elbow grease. BEFORE paint though, don’t go finer than 400.
Paint looks great, although the wire cutter use bothered me. I’d just unsolder everything that needed to be unsoldered. It doesn’t really take that much more time, and the results look more professional inside.
I just did coats of black until it was solid color and the clear until I ran out. I would say 2-3 coats of base (black) is plenty and I would do 2 cans of clear next time.

Thanks! “You’re gonna drive me to drinkin’ if you don’t stop driving that hot rod Lincoln!”
Dude, I wish I’d thought of that way of storing screws!
Yeah it’s a great trick, especially for projects with a bunch of different screws.
@@AdamBeckSpeedmechanic trick 😉
great instructions. How would you go about doing a satin finish?
same way. Just use a satin clearcoat and stop there. Dont wet sand or buff.
@@AdamBeckSpeed cool! Able to achieve I totally smooth satin finish using a spray can, if there's no sanding or buffing involved?
Damn what if you already sanded and buffed it lol
Your guitar says ‘guitarist’ but your forearms say ‘drummer’. In any case- great vid!
Accurate. Played drums first at age 10, picked up guitar at 17.
Really nice job, Beck.
What was in the tube of stuff you used with the "better than Bondo" filler...some kind of activator?

Hi, I've just re watched your video on refinishing the guitar body,I don't have 4000 grit paper to sand,can I use 5000 grit?
Yes. You’re talking after paint and clear you can go as fine as you like. It may just take a little more elbow grease. BEFORE paint though, don’t go finer than 400.
Hi, nice video.
when I sand my guitar to take the paint off it make scratches what should i do?
If you have scratches, you need to keep sanding with finer sandpaper. go all the way to 400 grit, like I outlined in the video at about 2:20 mark.
@@AdamBeckSpeed ok thanks😁
You should have stripped off that nasty poly finish if you're gonna use nitrocellulose paint.
Nice job all the same though.
nice job..
How do you make DIY WOOD primer ? ingredient ?
Paint looks great, although the wire cutter use bothered me. I’d just unsolder everything that needed to be unsoldered. It doesn’t really take that much more time, and the results look more professional inside.
This video wasn't about electronics.
@@scottbrower9052 neither does unsoldering wires vs cutting them.
you did a great job- damn though- enough with the black...blacked out guitar through a blacked out super over a blacked out cab-lol
hey if it's all black it all matches!
Hi. What was the foil that you placed in the body voids?
Copper shielding tape from Stewmac
Much appreciated! 😅
Can i do it without dismembering the body?
You could, but you get much better results just taking the thing apart.
how many coats the Stewmac and how long between coats?
I just did coats of black until it was solid color and the clear until I ran out. I would say 2-3 coats of base (black) is plenty and I would do 2 cans of clear next time.
10 to 12 coats with light sanding in between coats
All that to not show the work up close and at angles at the end palm to the forehead
