angry_jeremy Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Hello, I want to do a paint job similar to this: http://ragdoll.metalkings.ru/Alexi-Laiho/c...o-120703-01.jpg I'm planning on doing the white part first, then some clear (2 coats?) then taping off to do the black pin-stripe-ish bits. How long should I wait before taping on the clear coats so that I don't ruin it? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inisheer Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 Here's another thread from the forum. It's for a different design, but it might help. http://projectguitar.ibforums.com/index.ph...topic=13706&hl= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis frickecello Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Well you might consider this like wasting paint, but I painted a Jackson Kelly two years ago, and first painted all the guitar in black, then waited a couple of weeks and taped it with 3m masking tape (it is specially sold for painting strips on mustangs and hot rod cars) with the design you want, then paint all the guitar with the color you want, and voila, wait 2 weeks and then you will have to add like 5 or 6 coats of clear lacquer to make buildup so the surface of the guitar is uniform, wait at least 4 weeks for pro buffing and polish. It worked for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angry_jeremy Posted May 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Well, that's the other option isn't it? That would prolley be easier since the lines I'm going to do will be like pinstripe thickness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
