Brian Posted November 12, 2002 Report Share Posted November 12, 2002 You can score a ton of different materials that would make a great skin! If your in to doing a material finish Oh and welcome to the forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESPNUT Posted November 14, 2002 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2002 No, I don't care much for the material finish. It's different but,I was hoping to paint it. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhczar Posted November 16, 2002 Report Share Posted November 16, 2002 Way back in the 80's, maybe real early 90's, GP mag did a tour of the Jackson factory & they showed a snakeskin guitar being sprayed. If I recall correctly, they did a base coat of black, and then overlaid a piece of mesh aluminum, using it as a stencil, and sprayed, for lack of a better term, snake colors, like a mix of earthtone & then light shots of black over the earthtone. The mesh approximated the scaling. There wasn't any detail beyond the 2 or 3 pics, but they did the entire body with it, rather than just the front face. Hope that helps.
