DaveK Posted November 19, 2002 Report Posted November 19, 2002 Does anyone know if there is a product that can restore the shine to plastic? I sanded off the STUPID Semour Duncan logo on my pickups (yea seymour...great idea, I want your name to appear on my 57 historic Les Paul!) Anyway...I might be having a logic attack, but isn't there anything out there that could bring the "shine" back to the pickup? I have a lot of theories on what might work, but I am currious if anyone has found something that has Dave : Quote
LGM Guitars Posted November 19, 2002 Report Posted November 19, 2002 Micro mess polishing paper from stew mac will do it, you start with the 1500 and move up to the 12000, they'll shine like new! Quote
DaveK Posted November 19, 2002 Author Report Posted November 19, 2002 you guys a LGM are awesome!!!!!! Thanks Dave Quote
LGM Guitars Posted November 19, 2002 Report Posted November 19, 2002 LGM is just me one guy hehehe. The micro mesh is expensive, but it is useful for polishing out scratches and all kinds of stuff in your guitar too. Send me your pickup, I'll polish it out for nothing for ya Quote
DaveK Posted November 19, 2002 Author Report Posted November 19, 2002 Cool! I am waiting to see if you can get a smaller amount of the paint. I also heard that PPG makes a paint called "harlequin" that is the same as the chrome illusion....but less expensive. Does anyone know anything about it? Dave Quote
stickboy Posted November 19, 2002 Report Posted November 19, 2002 A little dab of acetone on a polishing cloth will also work. Just be careful of the amount you use. Quote
LGM Guitars Posted November 19, 2002 Report Posted November 19, 2002 acetone? it won't remove scratches which is what causes the dull finish here, Dave, I'm looking into the PPG as well, what I need to know from you is this, the true "chrome illusion" is from DuPont, and has 7 different color changes in the paint. The PPG Harlequin is typically only a 3 color change withing that color spectrum, ei: blue purple green. Purple, red orange. why did I just type that here? I should have emailed you LOL, oh well, I'll do that too! That would be a better idea............. Jeremy Edited for sales content-Project Guitar Quote
DaveK Posted November 19, 2002 Author Report Posted November 19, 2002 O.K , I am going to throw you a curveball....... To understand what I am thinking, picture in your head a Paul reed Smith solid color Guitar. Typically, the have the color on top & a black back right? O.k., with that in mind......Is there a way to do the top color:blue, purple, green and the back color: Purple, red orange? Or am I getting too picky Dave Quote
LGM Guitars Posted November 19, 2002 Report Posted November 19, 2002 Yup, I remembered the black back and sides kinda scatterbrained at the moment, i've been spraying paint Quote
