tsl602000 Posted May 23, 2003 Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 well, to each his own... but the finish looks perfect! ehr.... please correct my grammar.... is it "each his own" or "each it's own"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the third eye Posted May 24, 2003 Report Share Posted May 24, 2003 'each his own' for a male human 'each it's own' for a ferret or an alien(a genderless one that is) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsl602000 Posted May 24, 2003 Report Share Posted May 24, 2003 thanks.. Now we've gotta ask LGM if his client is an alien or a male human being...... I suspect LGM does guitar finishes for aliens.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovekraft Posted May 26, 2003 Report Share Posted May 26, 2003 Now that is one gorgeous finish!! OK, tell us, unless it's a proprietary secret: is that PPG paint? I assume you airbrushed the drips and pentagram - freehand, or did you use a template? I hope I live long enough to learn how to do work like that.

LGM Guitars Posted May 26, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2003 Hello, no real secrets, you just work in color from lightest to darkest, spray the white (which I use as a primer anyway) mask the pentagram, spray red, mask the drips, spray the black, clear. The paint on this one is RM Diamont (exactly the same as PPG) poly urethane base and component clears. This customer got lucky, I mixed enough clear for 3 bodies and then noticed a problem in one of the bodies before I sprayed, so I had extra clear and I just wanted to spray it all out, his guitar got 15 coats LOL!!!!!!!!

Guest AlexVDL Posted May 26, 2003 Report Share Posted May 26, 2003 Mask the drips????? Why not just drip red paint over the black paint and surface it all with the clear?? Oh man... sounds very much work to cut all those drip lines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGM Guitars Posted May 26, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2003 2 things First, the masking agent is a rubberized mold compound I thin and just drip over the red. the 2 reasons why are, Red won't show up on black very well, and dripping paint would end up sooooooooo thick it would be hard to surface it all. By masking it, you get a very very thin ridge of paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
