Finishing a painting - gel medium or Krylon spray?
It's an electric guitar. I worry that if I spray the metal bits it will look grungy. Would gel medium (with multiple coats) make a very hard, glossy finish?
Gel medium will take a long time to dry (cure) any will likely be tacky and sticky. Is Krylon polyeurathane? That would be best. You could also use liquitex "glossies". these are a type of acrylic paint that are enamel-like...very shiny.. they do take several days to dry completely, though.
take care!
you might get better responses if you mention the type of paint used and the part of the guitar painted on.
