I recently came across a Tele body that was a great limelight green color. It appears to have a thin poly coat with the green under a clear poly coat. There are some blemishes from where there sanding went a little too deep before applying the clear coat. After some consideration I arrived at the conclusion that I want to beef up the coat a bit. Is there any way I can apply another green then clear coat layer with out having to sand it all the way down? Maybe just lightly sanding the clear coat?

Thanks in advance

ive repainted a few guitars and ive always sanded them down and re leveld all the surfaces... its quick to do with a good sanding machine, as for doing another paint job over the top ofthe existing one, ull have to do a bit of sanding anyway to prime the surface and you will have to fill in the dents or any low spots and re sand them for a level surface... after that its just down to choosing paints that wont react with the existing paint and then do very light coats, remember with solid coloures like green and blue, as the paint dries the colour gets lighter so just be aware of this when sourcing new paints
