The Easiest Guitar Spray Painting Tutorial (Oxford Finishing Kit)

This is perfectly timed for me! My GGBO build will be my first attempt at paint finishing.

Great vid. good to see you again

It's good to see you making videos again,you've been missed out here we have been having to look elsewhere for some painting info. GLAD YOU BACK.

Thank you for the video buddy. I know it’s going to be a great day when I see Brad on the feed.

Tack cloth.... I was sure that was a Kraft Single slice ...

Great video Brad. Can't wait for the next one.

Just finished a Strat with an Oxford Finishing Kit in the Racing Green Metallic and gloss Nitro! turned out beautiful - thanks for the previous recommendation!

God bless you for turning me on to Car-Rep 2K for acrylic. I Love Oxford paint for lacquer. The first time I used it I did a Tele in Oxford Mary Kay White and it's such an easy and forgiving paint to use. The real tip I am looking for now is how to get my wife not to scream because I am building too many guitars.

I don't usually use rattle cans but I recently bought a bunch of guitar shop stuff from a guy going out of the business. I paid .25 on the dollar I'm guessing. Part of the haul was a brand new Sea foam green kit from Oxford. Which I'm looking forward to using it. Thanks for the videos Brad.

Good to see you back at it! Between the cans spray quality and the effectiveness of the spray rig, it occurs to me that you may not even miss the spray gun. Great work as always.

That is a very complete kit if it even includes a tack cloth. Awesome content as usual!

Great video brother. I love the Dura-Block stuff and seeing you use them makes me feel great about my choice to buy them!! Thanks for all the lessons and for all your help growing my channel. I really appreciate it. ✌️🤍

Great video, i like to see your videos bc it makes me wanna do it too

Did you use the full can on one guitar?

Hey Brad I need help. Few weeks ago I was sanding my precision bass from glossy polyurethane to satin and after this I relic it. But the final finish is not what I was expecting and now I order a danish oil for those relic parts, but can this oil improve the whole bass finish ? Or need to put back some gloss finish ? Thank you !

Great job as usual! Question. Would an acrylic lacquer like diplicolor be compatible with a nitrocellulose lacquer clear coat from Mohawk? How about a brush or wipe on poly clear on top of that duplicolor?

Finished my Tele build with Oxford primer, Daphne Blue color and clear coat. Told them you sent me. They said they "love Brad".

Thanks for the great content! I used your videos a few years ago for my first kit build, and I'm about to start my second with a car paint finish that I learned is a tricoat with two cans in addition to the clearcoat. Any particular tips for painting a guitar with a tricoat? Thanks!

Brad, will spray max 2k clear coat work over an nitrocelluloid lacquer base? Sorry if you've answered this before.

Hi, I put a Rust-Oleum painters touch (gloss black) on my guitar that you recommended. I have about 5 coats on it. Do I need to lightly sand with 800 grit before putting on my Spraymax 2k clear? I feel like I saw a video about that, but I can't find it anywhere now. It seems like all the scuff marks from sanding would show through the clear? It looked pretty nice before sanding the color. Should I just add more black, then the 2k without sanding first?

Hello Brad Joe here I stopped building guitars I've been building motorized bicycles now

Ever had your clear coat start dissolving when trying to clean it with isopropyl alcohol? As soon as I touched it with alcohol, it started leaving a white/milky residue, which is obviously due to breaking down the polymers, like when putting acetone over transparent plastic. I finished the clear coat about 6 weeks ago, therefore it dried for a long time. I don't think it's a case of non-cured finish, it's just strange cause I used Duplicolor automotive clear coat, but it somehow behaves like it's nitro/acryllic 😢

This your first time painting?

Another excellent How-To video. I am about to start on the Solo 12-String Kit (Strat Body). This will be my 4th Solo project. Your videos have been instrumental in all of the them. Your video style is so easy to follow. Thanks for all of your help.

thanks a lot man these guides are great. i had no idea where to start initially and your channel is really helpful

Hi Brad
Trust you are well, I just used an entire can of the triple thick glaze on the metal flake candy apple red guitar body. It still feels rough so I was planning on getting an additional can of the same glaze and coat until it’s a smooth finish. What would be your recommendation?

Long time no see. You must be a very busy man. Great video. I really had no idea that lacquers dried so extremely fast. Good info to know.

I am trying to do a black nitro finish on Strat body, using a Oxford spray can kit. So after using the filler and sanding as perfectly as possible, i sprayed with the sanding sealer. I couldnt seem to get a uniform smooth gloss, plus it has turned milky looking. I sprayed with humidity too high! So my question is why didnt it level out to a uniform smooth gloss,? And do I need to strip all the sanding sealer off and stary over? That is, will a bit of moisture trapped in the sealer cause problems with the color coat? Im not sure why they did not supply a can of primer coat.....I assume its because its not needed?

I got a warmoth partsmaster on Reverb for a steal and they had finished it already, but I hate the color of it once I saw it. I have sanded the body and filled all major holes, would I be good after a firm sanding to just use the Oxford primer and then use my lacquer and clear coat or would I need to do anything else beforehand? I would rather not strip it if I don't have to and the wood itself is really soft and not sure how well a chemical strip would go over.

Never heard of Oxford before these videos, but their paint kits look great.

Thanks for the video. I'm looking to use Oxford's butterscotch kit on a guitar with a particularly ugly sunburst. (I mean, all sunbursts are ugly.) [ducks]

Are their touch up pens any good?

Oxford is way too expensive, especially after shipping, $80 a quart for clear, $27 for a single dye color.after shipping its ridiculous.

Was watching a video from 7 years ago amd you didnt age a bit, are a vampire?

That’s exactly the color I’m looking for for a custom set of drums. I don’t see any reason why this finishing kit wouldn’t work for drums, also.

How do you know if you need grain filler or not, before the sealer?
