PaintIt Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 I started a new project tonight for fun. I have about an hour in the white details so far. I bought a bullet the other day just so I could paint it. It was stripped down 30 min after getting it home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanthus Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Damn, PaintIt, I love you And to think that this is what you do "for fun" hahaha. And you just went out and bought another guitar for the job. Simply priceless, I love it. Keep up the excellent work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you just went out and bought another guitar for the job. Simply priceless, I love it. Keep up the excellent work Thanks Man. Actually I do not even play any musical instruments just think they are cool to paint. I may try to learn using this one but I really do not have the time for another hobby. This may get sold at the shop where I piced it up but that depends on the finished result. It may get finished, photographed and then repainted again. Another couple of hours on the face and details in white and then I will start to add candy colors. Should be very sppoky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughtless 7 Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 That is one of the best paint jobs i've seen! Can't wait to see the finished result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaintIt Posted January 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Thanksall. I am going to try to get another hour in the whte tonight if possible. Should see a dramatic difference in the detail on the face when then. It will have all of the skin texture and such after that. This is for sale when done if anyone is interested in a Fender Bullet with great paint! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racer X Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 (edited) Wow! SUPER-NICE job, thus far! Can't wait to see the final product. Hey, out of curiosity, what kind of materials are you using, and what paints? Edited January 11, 2007 by Racer X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaintIt Posted January 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Ok, I am ready to clear and have not decided on gloss or satin clear. Any opinions would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaintIt Posted January 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Hey, out of curiosity, what kind of materials are you using, and what paints? The paint list Black - Dupont Chromabase White - Dupont Chromabase Yellow candy concentrate - Dupont Hot Hues Green candy concentrate - Dupont Hot Hues Red candy concentrate - Dupont Hot Hues Hot Clear ( intercoat clear for mixing candy concentrates ) - Dupont Hot Hues Chroma Clear 2K finishing clear - Dupont I use many companies but have been trying to use all of the dupont products in the candies and intercoat lines because I get better pricing adn can by small quantities locally. For HOK and Alsa I have to but large larger amounts unless I buy it from someone who is repackaging. Coast Airbrush does a good job with the HOK stuff but I do not like to wait 7 days for my paint. I am reall liking the Hot Clear from dupont for airbrushing better than the HOK SG100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention the cost of time and labor involved. Looks incredible! Nice job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eljib Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 That's incredible. Airbrushing is way harder than it looks (at least for me it was) and you do a great job. As soon as I get this posted I'm going to go search for any other finished pieces you've got on here! I think you should do a similarly themed piece for the headstock, though I don't have any suggestions on what I think it could be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am thinking of doing the headstock with the green and some lightning bolts and glow around the fender logo. I have not had time to clear this project yet bu tI am anxious to have it finished. not a guitar but it is wood. pinewood derby car for a friends son. 5 inch long x 2.5 inch wide. Need to finish the windows and clearcoat. Edited January 25, 2007 by PaintIt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanthus Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 I'd go with a satin finish on this one, I think that the tiny details would show through better when someone's looking at it, rather than having to "dodge" the glare you get from a gloss clear.
