Parker_Fly Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 Hey guys, finished my first whole refinish the other day... I basically scrapped everything on my squire strat and am upgrading everything... I painted it black with a sparley sort of finish.. I think it looks really good for my first, and I'm only 16 so I think it came out as good as it could of.... Go to my site down under this and go to "project strat" on my page... Tell me what you think! Mike Parkerfly.250free.com Quote
silvertonessuckbutigotone Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 Very nice, what kind of lacquer did you use? Have you set it back up and played it? How do you like the new parts, I know I loved it when I put EMG's and in my SG and played it, it was like a feeling of accomplishment. Quote
Parker_Fly Posted February 8, 2005 Author Report Posted February 8, 2005 nope havnt put it back together yet.. I actually spent $13 on the whole paint job! can you beleive it? Its a 3 step like car paint i got a pep boys made by a company called Plasti-kote haha.... Its just got a black coat, sparkle coat, and and clear... was tough gettin it to not run, i had to retry like 3 times haha.... Quote

Nalo1022 Posted February 9, 2005 Report Posted February 9, 2005 lol if it was that stuff thats funny because me adn a freind were at a craft store and i saw that exact stuff and said "hey this might be a cool finnish for a guitar" Quote
Parker_Fly Posted February 9, 2005 Author Report Posted February 9, 2005 Yeah its that stuff... lol it was fun do to it but kind of a pain cause its really not that great quality, but for a $100 guitar its a great paint job i think! Thanks for the comments! Quote
Executioner606 Posted February 10, 2005 Report Posted February 10, 2005 Sweet , im gonna snag some then. Quote
Parker_Fly Posted February 10, 2005 Author Report Posted February 10, 2005 Sweet , im gonna snag some then. ← Carefull when you do it that you dont hang it vertically to spray on the paint... it runs... i screwed on a peice of wood as a dummy neck and clamped that into my workbench so it was parallel to the flore and i got no runs... too me about 3 trys to get it... hope it works well for you!

Parker_Fly Posted February 13, 2005 Author Report Posted February 13, 2005 Is there any way to make that smaller without having to edit the actual picture and upload it again? Quote
