Arash Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 hi there I just started a new Cornscala and I wan finish it in glossy black piano... I want to know what is the best material to achieve this? I think bare MDF is the best choice but you high-experienced guy's opinion is a matter of high importance to me and appreciated something like this:(who knows which user built this?)

guitarman Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I'd say laminate. I don't think paint is going to get that glossy (as the photo). If you're set on painting, then I'd say you'll have to use a base coat clear coat two stage to get that much shine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can use cellulose undercoat... do you think bare MDF (MDF without finish) is good to do this? can you gimme a clue about the painting proccess? what should I do after using base coat?

MechMan Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I would guess that laquer would give the deepest black finish. As for what to use for the wood, regular ply should be fine if sanded and smoothed over right. MDF gonna heavy as heck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MechMan Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 How does that hold up to fingerprints and dust? You must have to clean it daily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arash Posted December 27, 2011 Author Share Posted December 27, 2011 WOW! nice... what undercoat and primer did you use? can you give me your process? (from undercoat to sanding to painting and final layer) someone recommended to apply a layer of PVA glue 50/50 diluted with water and let it dry and then sand and again PVA and sand and then undercoat ... what is you idea?

CECAA850 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 How does that hold up to fingerprints and dust? You must have to clean it daily. No one ever touches it so there's no fingerprints. It gets dusted every couple months like all the rest of my stuff. It sits in my bedroom on top of a Lascala. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arash Posted December 27, 2011 Author Share Posted December 27, 2011 should I use sandpaper between levels? for example after under coat? after painting black? after semi-pollyster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I built the box, bondo'd the imperfections (and screw hoes) and sanded the snot out of it till it was smooth. I then took it to my buddy to paint. He shot it with an automotive primer, sanded it, primed and sanded it again. The worst part was getting the end grain not to show. It then got hit with a black base coat, checked for imperfections and then several coats of clear coat were applied. The final finish was done with buffing and polishing. Basically it was just like painting several body panels on a car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arash Posted December 27, 2011 Author Share Posted December 27, 2011 many thanks dude... I really appreciate... has someone ever tried PVA glue at embryo stage? before undercoat? one thing more, Should I use vibrator sander or handy one?
