Stripped the black paint (with paint stripper), masked it off with painter's tape and newspaper, sprayed red paint on, cleaned up edges and letters with a small blade. I still have a touch more cleaning up to do, but I am waiting for it to cure completely.

Thanks!

Sweet! I've seen that color on ONE other/vintage Les Paul, very unusual and cool.

I saw the same one and that's when I thought I "had" to do it. I love the look of the red on gold! Thanks everyone!!!
