Mga sir questions lang po:

1. After mastrip yung paint ng guitar, ano ng next? apply primer? or yung wood filler thing muna?

2. Ano pa pong kailangan aside from the woodfiller, primer and colored spray paints?

3. Anong magandang brand ng wood primer ang maganda at budget friendly?

4. Sa colored spray paints naman po ano ung mura at oks na brand?

5. After applying the desired color of the guitar ano pong materials ang kailangan para mprotect ung paint ng guitar?

6. Ano po yung mga nilalagay sa screw holes para pagpinaint hndi malagyan ung butas?

7. Spray Painting technique? (Para di mangyari yung lumulobo yung paint haha)

8. What grit of sand paper to use for a certain step?

9. And last, When and How to properly wet sand?


Sorry po kung madaming tanong!
Thanks ng marami in advance sa mga sasagot!

1. After mastrip yung paint ng guitar, ano ng next? apply primer? or yung wood filler thing muna?
Prep mo maige guitar mo to avoid body filler. As much as possible walang body filler. Kung di maiwasan What I do is I mix saw dust with wood glue (saw dust of the same wood as musch as possible) If you plan to dye the wood use hide glue mixed with saw dust.

2. Ano pa pong kailangan aside from the woodfiller, primer and colored spray paints?
Spreay paint is ok acrylic based siya pero mas maganda you use a compressor. You have control overthe spray gun and more option with paint mixing.

3. Anong magandang brand ng wood primer ang maganda at budget friendly?
Not brand conscious almost the same naman silang lahat and the same price. Sometimes I don't use wood primer para sa color labas ang grain ng wood. You can also use sanding sealer to close the wood pores meron Boysen.

4. Sa colored spray paints naman po ano ung mura at oks na brand?
As long as acrylic based ok na.

5. After applying the desired color of the guitar ano pong materials ang kailangan para mprotect ung paint ng guitar?
Clar coat or top coat upto 5 layers. mas maganda 1-2 coatings ng paint the upto 6 coatings ng top coat, mababawasan pa kasi coating niyan pag nag sand and finish ka. k92 top coat maganda and mura.

6. Ano po yung mga nilalagay sa screw holes para pagpinaint hndi malagyan ung butas?
??? :-o
Kung small screw holes, di na maiiwasan yan butasan mo na lang ulit ng screw pag balik mo ng parts.

7. Spray Painting technique? (Para di mangyari yung lumulobo yung paint haha)
You have 2 choices lang naman acrylic or urethane. Urethan consists of a catalys para ihalosa paint. Sun light is not important. Ang important ay malinis yung place na pag sprayhan mo para di kumapit ang dumi. Always spray in 1 direction.

8. What grit of sand paper to use for a certain step?For preparation upto 600, the reason is kailangan kumapit mga suceeding paint overs mo. Kung masyado makinis ang pag sand mo (higher grit) di kakapit ang mga paint coats.

9. And last, When and How to properly wet sand?
I wet sand pag naka top coat na, wet sand and rubbing compound. Ang kailangan kasi dito kuminis yung balat sibuyas ng top coat mo. Wet sand means you wet the area to be sanded portion by portion and not soak the whole guitar body in water.

Lahat yan available sa hardware na may paint center. Or sa paint center. Before mo galawin ang guitar mo research ka muna ng marami, also yung painting system na ginagawa sa car is a good baseline on how to paint.

advisable ba gumamit ng ganitong sprayer? thinking buying one. ang mura eh.

Ryan, di ako sure diyan. Wala siyang compressor, yung air pressure niya galing lang sa valve sa labas. Dapat consistent ang air pressure para pulido ang work. Meron mga surplus compressors ngayon mga portable 1hp nasa 5k plus lang.

kaya yan isolder tlaga sir Rmansh tulad ng sabi ni sir R_chino18....pero if hindi mo kaya, punta ka sa mga nag rerehaul ng mga radiator? kaya yan isolder dun malamang...ewan ko kung ano tawag dun sa ginagamit nila, pero baka masunog ung cloth na cover ng pick up mo...mas maigi tlaga isolder mo na lang ng lutong luto, baka kasi sinolder mo taz nahilaw...

solder lead is not that effective unless you melt lots of it on a sanded metal surface (1 or 2mm thick). try mo super glue made specifically for metals.
doh!!!
