Question About Finishing

[AaronM]

Hello everybody =),

I've been reading up on projectguitar for a long time now and feel I'm finally ready-ish to try refinishing an old guitar I have lying around.

I know it probably wont turn out that great, but it'll be a start and I'm certain I'll learn a lot from it =).

I'm stripped my guitar body down and sanded it down completely, but one thing has been freaking me out. Pre-paint jitters?

You'll discover I'm not the most practical person from this, but I am completely lost as to what to do with the existing, original drilled holes.

Do I use a filler, then just re-drill them? (I would not be comfortable doing this), ignore them and just spray hoping they stay intact =P?

I don't have a clue

I know its a silly question, but I figure its better safe than sorry .

I'm still really new to this and have a lot to learn and would appreciate your help <3.

Hopefully I'll have some nice photos to share with you in the near future ^.^

Cheers,

Aaron

Oh I should add, I have a scooped trem bridge, so there are big nasty holes either side of that scoop.

No need to worry about the small pre-drilled holes for pickups, bridge..etc.... you won't apply enough paint to cover up these holes. Just make sure you mask the cavities for your pickups and electronics with tape or whatever you use.
