Hey guys! I’m Brad, and I make how-to videos. I do custom painting projects, guitar painting, airbrushing, spray can painting, wood working, and a variety of other finishing work and tutorials. Please subscribe and check out my channel for more!

The red jazz guitar finally has clear coat on it. It's looking rather shiny, but we can make it even glossier by polishing it.
The colour of the guitar is auto air's crimson over their dark sealer. Now the guitar has been finished with a catalyzed polyurethane clear coat made by PPG. The custom aluminum plate that I've manufactured for the guitar has been painted black using the same paint system.
As I mentioned in my video about the custom plate, it is made with aluminum in order to provide some electrical shielding. The conductive nature of the aluminum gives it this property. This should negate the need for copper or aluminum shielding.
For both the guitar and the plate, our clear coat now needs polishing. The polishing process includes sanding down the clear coat as smooth as possible, and then applying the polish. I sand down the clear to 5000 grit and then use a three inch buffing tool to apply my liquid ice polish. I also use 3M and meguiars polishing products fairly often. 
I have several polishing tutorials and demonstrations available on my channel for anyone looking for more information.
