Hi All. I have a question and would appreciate your input. I have a mahagony body that is very porous. I had it filled, painted, and sprayed with a water based lacquer. It didn't turn out great and I smoothed out the orange peel. Now though, it's smoother but it didn't turn out great overall. Can I prime over the water based lacquer and respray with paint? I fear that if I sand the guitar back down, it will be porous again and then I'll have issues with that.
I was even considering having an auto shop spray the color that I have and finish it in whatever they use. Any advice? I'd like to salvage this body for a decent price. I have the color spray from reranch.com. Thanks in advance, Pete.
