Several times I have been asked to provide examples of my work - specifically a conventional lacquer coating with sealer/primer and color coats one day - about 5 total, 30-60 minutes apart; clear coats the next day - 4-6, again 30-60 minutes apart; and buffing the same or next day, with NO finish sanding or sanding between lacquer coats.
As I've mentioned in the past, the drive with all my old image files was lost during two moves or was on a drive destroyed by USB over-voltage - with no backups.
So I have no pictures of anything right after it was finished except for some relic work I've posted in the past. And I don't do complete "normal" finish jobs at all these days.
But one of my old customers brought a guitar into the local tech shop I work with (usually on specialty instruments or effects) to have some pickups changed out, a refret, and a full setup.
I finished it TEN years ago - in gloss black lacquer, using my old Titan compact, non-bleeder turbine HVLP with a cup gun and 1.0mm needle/air cap.
