Stalefish Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Hey guys.. I got an old guitar that I'm 'refurbishing' for a friend as a wedding gift.. It's not a really expensive nor valuable guitar, more sentimental than anything.. Anyway, some of the parts on the Floyd Rose bridge have gone a little rusty and worn (such as the saddle locking screws).. I was thinking of spray painting them back to their original black.. I'm not too familiar with Floyd Rose bridges (never really liked 'em) so I was wondering if this would cause any harm or damage to the bridge or the guitar.. I can't imagine how it would hurt but you can never be too careful.. Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastwood Co. sells a powdercoating rig but I've never used it personally. When I get one I'll write a review for everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stageleft Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 I'd just get new screws and clean the rest up as best as i could. As a matter of fact that IS what I am doing. I am also doing a referb on an old Kramer. I just got a few new parts to replace the ones that were really trashed and cleaned up the rest. WD and Allparts and actually Brian come to think of it, should have everything you need. George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marksound Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 You could try this. It would probably be more durable than regular spray paint, but there's still no guarantees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stalefish Posted September 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Yeah.. Probably get new ones.. I was wondering if the paint would stick.. Oh well.. Thanks for the responses!! Just for interest's sake, the guitar is a Cort Performer Series from like 198-something.. Unusual controls.. 2 on-off switches for the neck and mid and one 3-way on-on-on to switch the bridge humbucker from humbucking to single to off.. Never seen that on a stock guitar before..
