Great paint

Absolutely essential for recreating the exact colors found on your American made guitars made in association with one Lester Paul! They have a couple different colors of the black and shouldn’t have an issue in deciphering which one is suitable. My first introduction was for a Gibson SG Supreme nonetheless and found the color to be exact and rich. Please note, if you wish to maintain the integrity of the serial number, cover it up after the first coat with painters tape then blend it upon wet sanding.

This review is also for the tobacco brown, red mahogany and aged clear as well as the clear satin. The mist is quite good when the can is fresh, providing good coverage. When it gets lower, the mist can get a little splotchy and nerve wracking, requiring frequent soaking the can in warm water. I also noticed some cans come with a really good tip and some come with a lower quality tip making it sort of a crap shoot. The colors quickly build and especially for the tobacco brown and become murky. Carefully accounting for temperature and humidity is required as well as wind. If any of these things are ignored something will absolutely go wrong. As you know this product is extremely toxic and good ventilation and protection is required. I’m not going to go over how to apply it because this is already extensively available elsewhere but needless to say you can get a decent result from this product if you put the work in. My results were decent but I didn’t shine it up too much because i like some character. Here is my upright bass completely refinished and electric bass neck refinished.

If you’re looking at this product to refinish an older guitar or you’re looking to “relic” a modern player, well, look no further. I bought this to hopefully match a “classic vibe” Squier neck that I was using on a custom built “Tele.” The neck felt great & had that vintage look I wanted, but I wanted it for one of a few boutique Telecaster builds I was working on. Took some tries to sand & match the original finish & I’m still dialing it in, but it gives a pretty close match to the rest of the neck. Hoping to have that build done soon. Well, my desire to be a boutique Tele builder grew faster than expected & I picked up a MIM Tele that needed a lot of work. It had a bad blister in the nitro on the backside, so I decided to “relic” it since the blister was worse than anticipated. Sanded in some wear marks, cleaned up the blister with sanding, & decided to use the rattle can to age it. Sprayed it on my fingers (with a surgical glove) & gently rubbed it onto the sanded parts. Results?! It aged the recently “relic” wood, brought out the grain, & is looking perfectly aged to match the factory Fender vintage neck! It’s gorgeous! Very impressed & plan to use it more while building my custom “Whiskey Workshop Guitars.” Plus, I looked to order first from Stewmac, then saw reviews that said it showed up fast from the Amazons. Rolled the dice (it was a few bucks cheaper on Amazon) & it showed up a few days later even though the expected date was a couple of weeks later. I cannot tell you how impressed I am with this product! When I get my builds completed in the next few weeks, I will launch Whiskey Workshop Guitars on the Facebook & you can see the results for yourself. For now, you just gotta take my word.

Not cheap, but great product

Shipping took WAY too long. Price is about the same as the total with shipping direct from Stew Mac. Product is fantastic. I’d say its as good or better than Minwax brushing laquer in aerosol. In particular, this has the aged look. It can be layered enough to get a very dark look or it can be very light. The qty in the can is also a proper amount. It sprays very well until you get close to the end of the can, then it does start to spatter a bit but if you just shake it very well, you can get pretty close to every last drop. Obviously you want to make sure you have another can to continue the process.
