Venom300 Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 Hey I am new to building guitars and have found this site to be rather helpful. I have an idea for a stratocaster and i want to put a cream color on the guitar like jimi hendrixes... i have ordered a body that has been sealed and is ready to paint. What paint should I use for the base coat, where can i go to get it and do i need to primer first? Thanks steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegarehanman Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 You're thinking of Vintage White. Go to reranch.com, click on products, and scroll down to a color they call "vintage cream." You'll find instructions on how to finish a guitar using aerosol cans on their site. peace, russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marksound Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 Reranch recommends their own primer under their paint (of course) or BINS shellac primer, available at home centers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venom300 Posted December 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 another question... I have two guitar that i wanna strip chemically. What is the best stuff to use? also i have an artist who is gonna be brushing acrylic onto one of the guitars for me. Is it best to put a light coat of white on the guitar before she starts. and am i going to have to sand the brush strokes out of the guitar or would it better to use some sort of filler to fill in the gaps? steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
