thank you so much bruce, this help full to me. you save my life

It’s so satisfying

Looking forward to seeing this finished thanks again Bruce

Thank you for sharing, I bet this piano turned out amazing, do you have pictures/videos of the finished project?

I've been working on a Mason and Hamlin upright from 1895. The striping and sanding have been much more involved than I thought they would be. I'm finally almost ready to spray the lacquer. I'll send you some pics when I finish.

Thanks for the upload, Bruce. What type of 'paint sprayer' are you using? If you can name the one you're using, it would be very helpful to your viewers.

what kind of black paint or brand do you use?

Do you use regular bondo or wood filler bondo?

Is that just a black stain you spray on and then put a clear lacquer top coat or is that a lacquer that is black? I am looking to refinish my great grandmother’s Boston Piano company upright.

Did you get that spray gun at harbor Fright.

Hi Bruce enjoy your videos. Years ago I did refinished pianos for a friend of mind. He rebuild all the inside parts and tuning. I was just wondering what spray gun you are using. are you using a HVLP gun? The last piano I refinished was a 1876 Steinway upright that has been in a fire in an old church. That thing had 3 coats of paint over a black finish.

What should I use to clean the satin wood finish and some of the gummy grime in the crevices of my grand? What should I use to polish with afterwards?

Holy Cow!!! What a job!

Ah what’s the name of this black

Who is the owner?

Hi Bruce , How you don't mind a request for help. I purchased a baby Grand that was in good shape but the Cabinet was very cracked up and in Very bad shape. First thing we striped it down to the Veneer but even at that point things did not look well. Finally we decided to remove the outer layer of Veneer for so many reasons. Blisters cracks and more. The outer layer of the veneer was replaced with Maple Veneer and all went well. As it was looking really good the veneer was primed and a base coat of Black Pre cat Lacquer was applied (2 coats). Now that 4 coats of clear Pre cat Gloss was applied and complete and all looked great we opened up the garage for some fresh air and sun light. I was shocked to see ripples and bumps in the finish from the veneer. I knew at this point I made a major Boo Boo ! When I applied the vineer the under surface was not perfectly flat and now that is what is showing.. I know I am back to sanding and painting but I need advise how to level this. I would like some serious constructive advice Please. Thanks for your Videos and Thanks in advance !

What kind compressor (HP, GL) and spry gun to purchase if for piano repairing , thank you very much.

What type of clear coat do you use?

Hi Bruce, do you use Bondo glazing putty or bondo body filler?

What do you use to dilute when the paint is thick , thank very much.

Hey Bruce, I refinish cabinets and furniture in Arizona. Originally from Michigan. I have a customer request to do a black lacquer finish on a baby grand. What is the going rate?

What material do you use for the finish….brand/patina/etc?

What kind compressor. how many gallon and horse power? Is the same piano gun with car paint gun? Thanks.

Hi, Did you ever see a DIY turn table for spray shooting a piano cabinet without the legs?

Hey thanks for ur video I'm a painter contractor thinking about shooting my wife's piano with my graco 9.5 hvlp any tips product process??

Hi Nice video. Do you spray once or do you spray a second coat?. PJ

nice.. enjoyed the video... thanks.

Oh, my! That poor, poor piano! What could have happened to it to get it beat up so badly?? Nice video. I would love to see it finished! - Category Comedy?? I guess I need to watch more of your videos!

Hi Bruce, When painting a grand Gloss black is the inside usually gloss black also? Why I ask is the one I just picked up was mat black inside.. Hummm. Love to know what you think. Regards!

but...there is no air suction and filtering! you have to build a painting cabin, it is like any garage diy painting work... You are risking a lot....and there is a lot of powder in the floor.

Hello Bruce. Nice project. Is that pre-cat black or nitro?

Can you refer me to some one here in Los Angeles who would do a nice job ,

So I guess his spray area is also his sanding area and storage area.. you can see the wheel marks on the floor as the rolls the piano around in the dust. Any dust that gets kicked up off the floor ends up in the paint. Also any one who has painted knows you stop spraying paint when you change directions with the gun... Not overly impressed with what I've seen.
