I want to paint over a piece of wood (pine) and I don't want the grain to show through the finished coat. Like a factory guitar
What should I use to coat the wood before painting it?
Tags:
I suggest using Guitar Reranch nitrocellulose lacquer spray cans and following their instructions.
In general, it will be sanding sealer, primer, color coat, clear coats, buff out.
If you want a perfect gloss use clear coats on top, and then use Micromesh to buff out. Best finish I ever got.
If you just want some color and don't care if it's super glossy, you can stop after the color coats.

Stew Mac also has an excellent book called Guitar Finishing Step By Step.
Be sure to practice on a scrap piece of wood first so you don't ruin your guitar.
