DLP Les Paul Prototype - 34 - Finishing the Finish

It's been over a week since I sprayed the nitrocellulose gloss clear lacquer on the DLP Les Paul Prototype neck and body so I decided to buff the finish on the body and the neck last night.


I started with 600 wet and dry, then 1200 and finally 1500 wet and dry.  Then I used 3 grades of abrasive compound to get rid of the remaining scratches and swirl marks before adding a little car polish to really get a shine.


There is some blooming on the face of the neck so I have rubbed the finish back and will lacquer is again, I'm told another layer will merge with the bloomed layer and allow the moisture to escape.  I just want to put this all together now and have a play!
