Gigabyte Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 I've never done anything like that but I would look into material finishing...... Click here!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Librero Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 if the tie-dye only needs to be at the guitar's top/front, then material finishing is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skibum5545 Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 You could also do something like it with swirl painting with bright primary colors. There's a tutorial on the main site. Mind you, it won't be a tie-dye, per se, but it will have a cool swirled color look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gburgbandboy Posted November 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 oh so I can material finish just the top of the guitar? and then just paint it on the back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Librero Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 yes. but you might have a hard time hiding the edges of the cloth if you don't do a burst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KramerKrazy Posted November 6, 2004 Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 (edited) What I would do is get an airbrush and practice a bit on anything you have. You may be suprised how easy tye dye can be with even a cheap airbrush. check this out.
