Little Guitars Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 (edited) This will be my first refinish, so please bear with my beginner question. I'm looking to paint with a base of lime green and do primary colors over top of the base with a stencil pattern. The only lime green I've found thus far is Duplicolor Engine Enamel. I picked up some regular Duplicolor for the primary colors. I've read on this forum that I can spray laquer over enamel, but I'm concerned about Engine Enamel, specifically. It says on the label that the paint contains ceramics and I'm not sure if that will adversely affect anything, or not. If this won't work, does anyone know of any spray lime green laquers that are easy to obtain? Edited July 20, 2005 by Little Guitars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Executioner606 Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Ive used the duplicolor grabber green before. I used it on a warlock I had lying around and it worked fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devon Headen Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Just test it. Make sure the enamel is very dry and just dust the lacquer on for the first couple coats. Can't hurt to see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaper Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Why not test it on another piece of wood? It would give you a decent idea of what's going to happen with out f***ing up your guitar... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanb Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 The Duplicolor enamels and the Duplicolor Engine enamels are not the same products. However, I agree. Do a test and see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon Headen Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 That's what I meant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
