Painting A Semi-hollow Pickguard

[nicealex]

I plan on getting a semi hollow soon, but I want to paint the black pickguard white because it would be too hard to find a white replacement for it. I was planning to:

1. Remove pickguard from body

2. Remove all screws

3. Sand pickguard (What grit?)

4. Use spray paint to paint (What type of paint?)

5. How many coats?

6. Spray a clear coat over it (What type of clear coat?)

7. Reattach pickguard

Am I making any mistakes, or is there a better way to do this?

Any input is appreciated.

Thanks,

Alex

This might be easier.
