DoomCrew_Inc Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 hey guys, long time i have'nt been online. Either way, i got a bit of prob, i got a zakk wylde bullseye les paul, epi version, now i got a bit probs with this guitar, it bored the **** out of me, cosmetically, so i changed the hardware to chrome, and well i loved it....but i also got bored of that gold plated nut cover, i got some chrome spray can paint, uhmuhm it says , rust oleum bright coat metallic finish chrome paint, don't know if it matter or not....but i wanted to make the nut cover chroed as well...so is the paint i got good ? or not ? also, i sanded the gold lating off of the nut, so it's down to it's true brass, also....once i paint it....what sealer do i use ? second prob, i hate the epi style headstock, hate it.....so i want to add horns to it, kind of like a widow bc rich head stock....i was thinking...could i cut out the extra horns out of some sort of wood....and use some kind of glue to stick it to the sides ? maye epoxy ? and lastlye....i hate the epi logo....i want to put a gibson logo....i know i cn mask off everything but the epi word so i can spray black over it.....then clear coat....and use high grit sand paper till it's all level.... but i was wondering......could i do that same technique to the body ? see, in ozzy's get me through video, zakk uses a black les paul, but with mirror inlays on the bulls eyes...so i was wondering.....could i mask of the parts i want to chrome...then use sealer ? oh yeah, the the way, i got this dean dimebagg darell tribute ml, i was wondering, could i use some sealer over the clear coat ? i love those dimbagg darrell stickers that come on em, so i was wondring if i could just seal cot ontop and then sooth it down with some high grit ? also....can the same technique that was used for the that ibanez headstock, be used to make fake binding on the fret board ?

rahimiiii Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 If you want to turn gold to silver, just take some silver polish and rub it until the gold plate wears off. they are very thin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doeringer Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 Doesn't sound like it is worth the time. Try limiting your questions to just a couple and you will get more answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 Just curious, are you guys hitting "+ qoute" when you reply? If the original post is sitting above yours why bother? It just makes for more scrolling. -Vinny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
