Review: Guitar top coat - Great product
Review: Awesome on maple headstock - Bought for my Fender Jazz custom job, specifically for the headstock. I sanded the face of the headstock back to raw wood to remove the “Fender JAZZ BASS” decals. This returned the wood to its washed out and pale natural appearance. This was sanded back to 320 grit, then sanded again with wet and dry 800 to get it like glass. 3 coats applied, with a light sanding with wet and dry 800 in between, a new Fender Jazz Bass water slide applied and allowed to dry out completely, followed by another 3 coats of this nitrocellulose spray, with sanding in between. My headstock looks factory quality, and I am one heck of a picky person. The maple regains it’s warmer hue with multiple coats, and it matches the other factory finished maple details almost perfectly. Words of wisdom; go thinly with your coats, do not skip sanding with 800 wet and dry in between them, although I would skip sanding the first layer of nitro you apply after applying your water slide, just to be sure you don’t accidentally sand through the thin layer of lacquer and damage it 👍🏽

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality finish
*by M***R on 14 April 2022*

Went on evely and sprays smoothly, I did warm the can up in warm water first. I put on light coats, and didn’t get any runs. The final finish was wet sanded with 1500-2000-3000 grit wet paper. If I did it again I would have sprayed on more heavily on the final coats- but I wasn’t brave enough!😊 Great product- not cheap- but it is a good quality. I’m very happy with the results
