Les Paul Broken Headstock Repair - Part 2 Refinish

Welcome to the next project, here we go fixing more broken stuff. An Epiphone Les Paul Muse with a serious head"less" gets a final re-finish, making it better than new. 00:00 - lights, camera, action 00:06 - project intro 00:43 - sanding sealer 01:49 - low tech spraying 02:58 - easy sanding 03:46 - prep n' mix 05:27 - back in black 06:55 - 2K clear 08:00 - pre-polish sanding & blunder 09:23 - lather, rinse, repeat 10:42 - polish 11:38 - very shiny With all the physical repair and strengthening done, it was time for a new finish. The original finish had a base of what appeared to be a polyester filler/sealer. I followed suit and sprayed Prestec 28x50 sealer/filler over the repair area. I believe this project is manufactured by Simtec, and is the same as the 28x50 Easy Sanding Sealer, only repackages and sold under the Prestec name. The sealer was mixed to mfg specs, and sprayed on using a Spray-It R500 Finish gun with a 1.7 fluid tip. It sprayed really nice. It would be better in a controlled space, but I only had a shade tree to work with = make do. Once dry the sealer does sand very easily, and the remainder of the neck area to be refinished was also prepped for new color and clear. An automotive base coat color was used for the black touch-up, followed by CAR-REP Wise2K clear. This 2K clear uses the moisture in the air to kick-off the chemical reaction, so be sure to wear proper safety equipment. Your lungs are full of moisture...so you don't want this clear in there! Once everything had plenty of curing time ( a week ), I started finish sanding with 1000grit wet, then 1200 wet. It was at this point I accidentally sanded through a spot on the back of the head stock. Hmm, not ideal. The entire neck was again sanded in preparation for new color and clear. Lather, rinse, repeat. The project again set aside to cure - another week. Everything dry and re-sanded (perfectly), it was time to polish the guitar to a high shine. I used my bench-top buffer and some GlanzMax polish resins. Everything went great, I wish I would have made the buffer a couple years ago. What a pleasure to use, and what an amazing shine too! This project is now complete and ready to go on to its new life, somewhere out there. Thanks for watching, I hope you enjoyed the repair project. There are clearly other ways to do everything, each repair will likely call for its own special processes. This is just how I went about completing this job. It is now better than the day it left the factory. Take care!
