What a beautiful piece of art!
Love it.

There are treatments for automotive finishes to make them suitable for flexible parts like bumpers. I'm wondering if those would be appropriate.
Could you comment on the use of a buffing pad versus a buffing wheel (such as the one that goes on a stationary buffer)?

@alvin10388 Perhaps for really solid bodies, but check LMI, McFadden's lacquer is the standard in the last decade or two.
-

Thank you. Any ideas on what might be comparable that is sold here in the states? Thanks again for your kindness in responding.

Great videos. I've been enjoying and learning from them. Question for you...what type of jig are you using to secure the body so you can work on it? this video I see a piece of wood that is bolted to the neck and then I'm assuming you're clamping it in a vise? but on your epoxy pore filler video, I don't see that. Lastly, is there a place where we can order the lacquer products online? Thanks and can't wait for more of your videos.

I've not tried any Automotive lacquers on instruments. Can't comment on their suitability.
You do need a finish that has some elasticity in it so it can move with the wood. Otherwise you will get crazing of the finish very quickly.

Sorry, but no idea about the products available in the USA.

The body of the guitar is being held by a vacuum vise that I had custom built. You can also get ones similar from LMI. The stick in the neck block I use to hold the body while spraying so I can get to all sides.
This lacquer is only available in Australia and New Zealand as far as I'm aware, and I don't know if anyone offers it on line. Shipping dangerous goods would be very expensive anyways. I buy it locally.
