Patrick Deno Posted November 12, 2002 Report Share Posted November 12, 2002 Anyone ever tried to strip a DBK? How'd you do it? What precautions did you take/need? Which way works bets, i.e. sanding, chemicals, heat? What tools did you use? This sounds like a tutorial that's needed since there's SO many DBKs out there now. Brian, up to the challenge?

cerealk Posted November 13, 2002 Report Share Posted November 13, 2002 I thought you liked the DBK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Deno Posted November 13, 2002 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2002 I DO, but maybe I'll wanna do a graphic one of these days if I win the lottery. That VSBL with the airbrush as well as the material finishing tutorial sure got me thinking - black with some killer tribal graphic or something. If so, I'd need to strip it before hand. Also, seeing as how I am FAR from the only DBK owner on earth, it might be worthwhile to do a tutorial on it just in case someone else wants to refinish or modify one. Just a thought.

Brian Posted November 13, 2002 Report Share Posted November 13, 2002 60 grit and a palm sander (my answer to the amazing duct tape revolution when it comes to refinishing bodies) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Deno Posted November 13, 2002 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2002 Come on Bri, you can do better then that! A palm sander won't get into the pickup, trem or electronics cavities! But then, what should I expect from a guy who makes pick plates from plastic trash cans, eh? LJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted November 13, 2002 Report Share Posted November 13, 2002 Same material........ Thats why. Are you trying to save the texture or smooth out the top, thats the part I didn't understand........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Deno Posted November 14, 2002 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2002 Just pokin' atcha bro, I'm talking stripping down to the bare wood for a fully new finish. I just thought since the DBK has a rather unique finish, it might be worthwhile for someone to write up a tutorial for it. No big deal, it was just a thought. ...and understand, I am not planning on doing this to MY DBK. It was just a thought that came to mind while I was reading through the material finishing tutorial. I have heard that few companies that have been asked would do it, or at a much higher price, because of how hard it is to do. I thought since you, Brian are so good at finding easy ways of doing things maybe you'd have some insight. Believe it or not, the tutorial isn't for me, I just thought it would go well with the others you're trying to collect. LJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
