Vanguard Clear Coats

The temperature outside this morning was cooler and low humidity. Time for clear coat!

I’m using Spraymax 2K Gloss Clear in a can. This stuff is nasty so I’m spraying it outside. I set up a tent and blocked off the sides to keep the breeze down. My little Black and Decker workbench hold my guitar holder thing nicely.

All holded nicely. I can rotate it easily to spray all the sides.
Hopefully less bugs and leaves in here.

I sprayed the whole can on the guitar. 5 or 6 coats and it looks suuuuuper awesome!

Super glossy
The metallic shows through nicely in the sun!

Here is a quick video of it in the sun. 🍆💦

Painting The Vangaurd Headstock

Time to repaint the headstock on the Vanguard. Kramer headstocks have a small border of black painted on the sides to give the appearance of a headstock plate. I taped that line off using blue tape. I also covered the other areas that might get over sprayed.

Here is a photo of the little detail HVLP spray gun I have been using. It’s from Harbor Freight and it works real good!

Then I sprayed the headstock with a nice basecoat of Createx Autoborne Sealer Black

Next is a coat of Createx Wicked Gloss Black to finish it off.

After the paint dried a bit, time to peel the blue tape off!

The next step is to add a bit of clear and then a new Kramer logo and more clear.
