Hey bling, that looks nice.

Are you doing swirls by putting the guitar in water with paint? (don't cry because of putting the gear in water - that method is complicated. I know) Or with the spray gun?

GreaseBox · 06-25-2009, 11:52 AM

GO BLING GO!!!!

the paint it self was water based acrylics thinned with water.. before painting it the top was shot with wood primer (after being stripped of course) when the paint job was dry i applied several coats of enamel matte clear coat, finnished up with a couple coats of mcguires car wax... its the first guitar ive ever painted but knock on wood, it looks like the paint job is pretty sturdy and will last a long time

Just kidding, can't wait to see the results... even if I'm not sure how I feel about it.

Hehe. What great timing....

Torren61 · 06-26-2009, 07:59 AM

That looks cool, 'Bling. Congrats on the courage to do it, too. Btw, where DO you get those freaky vids? Some of 'em are so mesmerizing I sit here for an hour before I come out of my trance...
