Nitefly SA Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 unless you are really good at airbrushing or painting you should get a decal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chartier Posted December 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Alright guys Ill tell for the last time what I need for the moment. I want my guitar to be Dark Blue (Like Navy) Metallica colour. Then I want to have a really good looking demon coming out of my guitar like if his fingers and face are pushing into my wood to get out. First Question : Do I have to sand my guitar first? Second question : Wich paint do I use? Third question : How do I get the demon I want witouth paying a fortune? I am not colouring airbrush artist... would a decal look good?

Chartier Posted December 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Alright thanks, so heres what I'll do, take my guitar, sand it all of then use Rattle Cans (Night Blue Metallic) and then Ill look for a decal... is their a way that if I find a decal on the net I can put it on my guitar? then after the decal I will take everything off my headstock sand it, paint it with rattle cans use the Custom Logo TuT... btw how many time do I have to paint my body and head stock... like 4 times? is their is a Poor People Fade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitefly SA Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 (edited) by fade do you mean burst, dark around the edges and a smooth transition to a lighter center, 2 primer coats, sand smooth with fine grain, 2-5 color coats(personal preference) apply decal then many many many coats of clear around 20-25, wet sand with super fine sandpaper (1000-2500) between every 4 or 5 coats of clear Edited December 29, 2005 by Nitefly SA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
