@jwhambone79 Thanks...I'm spraying the sides first..

Use srews to prop it up. Even when it is dry it is vulnerable to blemishes while lying down, more so if your spraying fresh lacquer around it. I used long 2-3" drywall screws, hand threaded them into parts of the non exposed body. Just enough so they won't move but aren't going to damage anything. ie neck screw holes, pickup cavity, control cavity...
Works great. Plus there is a level surface for you to spray on, less run potential.

How long did the Deft clear take to dry (between coats as well as after the final coat)? I ask because I'm only going to be able to do one side at a time and I don't want to get any marks indented when I flip it over.
Wonderful job by the way.

Thank you!

Great clear coat....I'm having a real issue with mine....I'm using a spray minwax lacquer....Getting good results on the sides and neck, but getting orange peal and rough outcomes on the back and front of the body......no matter what I do....can't get a better finish...I tried on low humidy days and adjusting the spay distance....Any ideas?....Guitar looks great!!

Probably overspray from spraying the sides. I wouldn't worry about it. It should still polish out. Try wetsanding between coats a few times. Are you spraying the sides first or last?
Wetsand down to 1500 or 2000 grt. from 800 on a small spot and rub it out with some polishing compound. I bet it gets nice and shiny. As long as there is enough laquer on it.

and you use a regular can of spay paint to paint it instead of a paint can and spray gun?
