How To Do A Custom Paint Job On A Guitar

DISCLAIMER I have learned that spraying lacquer in that close of proximity to a regular box fan could be dangerous. Hey guys I'm Brad and I make how-to videos project vlogs and more I do custom painting projects guitar painting airbrushing. In this video we take an everyday guitar and make it super 80's radical with an ultra ill crackle finish Part one of two this episode.

This is my 4th attempt at crackling this guitar partially my fault partially the fault of the paint I was using My process 11/24/25. Huge thanks to Sergei for doing such a masterful job Sergei used a heat gun and paint scraper to remove the poly urethane paint. Letting the lacquer dry for 2 months is a key process in this repainting video My camera did not record the lacquer spraying.
