espnut2 Posted June 24, 2003 Report Share Posted June 24, 2003 Hello, I have always had a crazy 80's wish to do a snakeskin finish on my giutar. Anybody have a clue how, or has anyone done it? Any info would help. I would rather use paint instead of a material finish. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spideyfoot Posted June 24, 2003 Report Share Posted June 24, 2003 The last time I did a snakeskin I stretched mesh ( like an orange bag) thightly over the surface and the airbrushed my snakeskin pattern over an appropriate basecoat ( black , brown ...) Just have to shoot at a perfect 90 and not bump the material. I am sure their must be an easier way but this produces a pretty nice result.
