It's not often Mr Hulio and I agree but I'd say his idea is best. That way if you don't like it or it gets ballsed up, you can put it back as it was.
How about we assume I'm aware that the resale value won't be the same and I don't care, I'm not interested in spending hundreds more on a whole other body to end up with a completely different guitar just to have an LPB body sitting around doing f**k all, and that I'm not some complete bell-end who will inevitably balls-up anything I attempt with a rattle can, and instead approach this from a perspective of I know how to refinish guitars, I don't like LPB but I like shoreline gold, and I'm looking for reasons why I would encounter technical problems with this combination of paints?
You know, one of the reasons I don't go on guitar forums as much as I used to is that you ask a simple question that should have a ten-word answer and instead you get a dozen guys telling you you're incompetent and your taste sucks and your idea is stupid and the only way to get right is to spend ten times more money doing something completely different.
1. I'm going to refinish this guitar, in a colour of my choice.
2. I don't give a shit how it affects the resale value.
3. I won't screw it up because I know what I'm doing, but if I did it would be my problem.
4. I'm asking if a specific type of paint requires more preparation than I currently plan to do.
Now does anyone have anything helpful to add to that, or do y'all want to keep telling me that the most important thing is what happens if I decide to sell it?
Question: for lacquer thinner, what do you recommend? I have some nitromors (recent) lying around and can get hold of acetone pretty easily, would either of those do? I've only ever stripped urethane before so not sure.
Only trying help.
Not being funny but if you "know what you are doing" then why ask in the first place? Especially in view of the question you asked at the end of your initial posting... How are we to know you are an expert?
Good luck with it.
