I was adviced by a very well known builder (no names) to do a combined finish: French polish over a very thin layer of sprayed Nitrocellulose: Sealing with nitro, sanding, porefilling with nitro pore filler, sanding back, color with nitro, sanding, 1layer of nitro, sanding, French polishing. The idea, a harder finish than FP, easyer and faster to apply than pure FP, Superior sound compared to Nitro. Whats your thoughts. It will look like french polish and some will call it that, but the name should be French Polish over Nitro.

Well some thoughts against doing this: Basic finish wisdom is, nitro over shellac sealer, not shellac over nitro sealer. I've seen guitars done this way have peeling finishes. And as long as you are that far into a nitro finish why stop and French polish? It defeats the point of either finish. The other thing is that it takes longer for nitro to condition before you can cut it back and level, so you will have two materials which will be shrinking at different rates while you work. Unless this guy shows you exactly how he does it I would not do this. If your idea is to get a color coat and then French polish you can brush or spray shellac clear, pore fill with pumice or whatever, spray or brush more clear to seal the filler. Then level. Then spray shellac with color and then body it up with a pad and carefully move to rubbing out and glazing it. Just giving a counter argument to think about.
