to provide a high gloss finish (while making a guitar), first make sure there is no orange peel, or any bumps in the initial color coats of the finish. there should be about 4-5 coats of the said color finish on the guitar. sand the color lightly, and apply the gloss lacquer, about 5-6 coats. Sand the finish with 400, 1000, and 2000 grit sand papers in that order. you should see some of the shine start in this, but not in the mirror- like gloss usually seen on high gloss finishes. finally, take some wax and a buffer, and buff the sanded finish until it is buffed to a mirror-like sheen.

Satin is lower gloss than semi-gloss paint. Paint finishes in order of decreasing gloss are: * Gloss * Semi-gloss * Satin/Low sheen * Flat Some manufacturers call Satin/Low sheen finish Eggshell, and others regard this as a finish between Satin/Low sheen and Flat paint. The higher the gloss finish the easier it is to clean, the higher its durabillity and the more it shows surface imperfections.
