Rank: Newbie Joined: 4/5/2010(UTC) Posts: 2 Points: 9 Location: United States Thanks: 1 times		I've been talking with a well respected luthier near where I live. I told him that I was swirling a guitar with Humbrol enamels. He said that whatever I do, do NOT apply lacquer over enamel paint. He said that lacquer on top of enamel will wrinkle the enamel. I was then recommended to use a (poly)urethane clear-coat instead. I haven't seen much info, or any regarding (poly)urethane clear-coating on this forum. Has anyone used this? And if so, can you throw some reliable brands/types of spray cans for me please? PS - From the same source, I also was advised that the (poly)urethane spray that I should use should NOT be the fast drying stuff, but the slower drying stuff.

I read here that people wait for weeks for the paint to cure, I didn't, so I clear-coated the body after only 3 days, had no problems at all, it's been more than a year now. No changes at all.
