Hey everyone! After hearing about the Looth Group for quite some time, decided to go all-in with a yearly membership. Hoping to learn a lot from all of you and move from being the best luthier my friends know (i.e. the only builder they know) to being a luthier that other people think might know something 🙂

Reply to Airbrush for Sunburst? Is it a thing?
So you do not have an air compressor? Might be a good idea to get one. A small detail gun (or airbrush) takes very litttle air so you only need a small compressor that you can use for many other things. I use an small old Devilbiss MP gun for sunbursts, it does not need a lot of air. Regardless of what you use, be careful with the air pressure.…

Reply to Airbrush for Sunburst? Is it a thing?
Thank you for the suggestion of the detail gun, but I have a Fuji HVLP setup that cannot accommodate a detail gun. I have not yet attempted any practice sunburst boards with my current setup, but will do so shortly. If all else fails, I would also like to test out using a double action airbrush. I appreciate your input!

Reply to Airbrush for Sunburst? Is it a thing?
Thank you very much, Luc. I do own a Paasche model H single action airbrush and airbrush compressor, but only have limited experience with it. A double action airbrush would undoubtedly have much finer control of the spray density, and would surely be a better choice for applying a sunburst finish to a guitar. Thank you for the suggestion.…

Reply to Airbrush for Sunburst? Is it a thing?
Hey, Ian, thank you for your input. So I have a Fuji HVLP spraying setup, and cannot use a compressor-driven detail gun. I actually have not yet tried spraying a sunburst with it, so with the correct tip (and I assume one of the finer Fuji gun tips would be appropriate), it could work well. TBD. I will definitely do some practicing on some…
