Stay away from anything callled "High Performance Enamel"!!!
I thought it probably meant it had good adhesion, or wouldn't crack easily.... oh boy have I been in for a surprise!!!
It went on decent... was black and shiny, didn't really have any runs and it went on with surprisingly fast coverage. I now think the "high performance" is that it goes on kind of thick and might even be kind of "self healing" like truck bedliner....
... Because when I went to put on a metallic black top coat (which turned out to be a glittery as a 4th grade girls slumber party art project) when I went to sand back some of the glitter layer, hoping for it to stay in the grain crevices.... the PERFORMANCE ENAMEL resists cracking and such by the heat caused from the disk sander to turn it into a black PASTE... that gums up the sanding pads... works it's way into every groove... and forms these thick gooey paint areas that I've had to hit... flip... come back to ... hit.... because if you build up too much heat, it fights back like VENOM.
Actual picture of me sanding the black paint off this Ash body....
It's probably going to work out okay.... I'll just leave the deepest black in the wood like "grain filler" but fuuuuuuck... I've never burned through this many 80, 100, and 320 grit sanding pads one ONE guitar body EVER!!!
