Matt's Matte Black paint?

[Jaicen]

Did anyone ever discover what paint is used on the MB2SE guitars?

 

It's almost certainly some sort of poly finish, but I've no idea they get the slight texture to it. Anyone have a source?

The same one used on the MB-1 it seems.

 

You sure it's poly?

I haven't played the mb1, only the se, but it didn't feel like nitro, and too hard for acrylic.

I could be wrong of course. Matt's guitars can't be nitro, they don't wear like you'd expect when they're thrown around. A nitro finish would show scars the first time you drop it.

 

Edit: Also, Mansons would definitely make a big deal if it was a nitro finish as that's harder to do well and more expensive than a 2-stage catalysed finish.

When i was building and customising a guitar I asked hugh what paint he uses on the guitars and he said it was a pigmented lacquer and he also told me where he gets it from. its somewhere in exeter.
