Painting a Doublecut with TV Yellow Nitro Lacquer

With the grain filled and sealer applied, I use two cans of StewMac TV Yellow Nitrocellulose Lacquer to paint this doublecut guitar.

Great job

[@AlexisGuitars]

I love the maple fretboard with the TV yellow finish. Looking forward to the next part!

Thanks! Wish I could say it was fully intentional, but it was what I had in the workshop 😂
It does give it an uncommon look though, which I like

What paint brand did you use?

[@zwitchguitars]

I used the StewMac tv yellow

[@filip6665]

Have you put any coat of sealer or primer before tv yellow color and does it make any difference if you apply sealer/primer?

[@zwitchguitars]

It depends on the look you are going for. You never *have* to use primer with lacquer on raw wood, but many people do since sealer is cheaper than lacquer with pigment in it.
It also depends on whether you are going for the “authentic” Gibson TV yellow style (which I wasn’t). If you search a bit, some people go into great detail if you want that specific finish
