Daniel Sorbera Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 (edited) I was thinking of doing a light blue (very light blue) to white burst. Just like the Halo Glacier on LGM guitars site only transparant. I could just stain the whole top the color of blue I want and than burst white spray paint around the edges but than the white wouldn'y be transparant. Is there such a thing as white stain? Anyone have any ideas on how I might acheive this finish? Edited August 16, 2005 by Godin SD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subject17 Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 (edited) hey godin, i've done some wipe on dye bursting and to be honest. the closest i've seen to a white dye is a silver grey available at http://www.wdlockwood.com/main.html you might be able to delute it enough and brighten it up. (not sure on this one) its in the alchohol soluable section i think. you might be better off trying the spray and having a big fade so that it gives a transparent effect. (like VERY small particles) so that it will still show blue below that. (if thats what your looking for) i think that would look great. just some ideas since you were looking. -RS cheers. helps. if i can spell... lol Edited August 20, 2005 by subject17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drak Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 No, there is no such thing as white stain, but there is white pigment, and if you thin white pigment down enough and add it into your finish as a toner coat, it certainly is transparent.

marksound Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 That's what I was thinking, but since I've never actually tried it ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maiden69 Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Godin, I don't know if you rememmber but this was disscussed to eath a few months back. Like Drak said, a white pigment is the way to go. Or you can get translucent white paint from any hobby shop, especialy for airbrushing, and then you can add more extender or denaturated alcohol to make it more transparent. Ah, and make sure you seal between the stain and the paint, because if you thin it with either it will make the stain bleed thru. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
