Brian Posted December 28, 2002 Report Share Posted December 28, 2002 Looks like he just rough sanded the body to me and maybe added some colors where it went to deep then smoothed it out and cleared it over......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SprocketBoy Posted December 30, 2002 Report Share Posted December 30, 2002 HMMM It's kinda sad he dosen't remember how he did it the first time. LOL i guess the rule of thumb here to always take photos, write it down so you can remember it when the orders start flooding in. But thats usually the way..you make something awesome and then others want it and you cant remember how you did it!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jehle Posted January 9, 2003 Report Share Posted January 9, 2003 Vernon Reid used to play a guitar with a similar finish. The video for "Cult of personality" comes to mind. To me it looks like the guitar has been painted a solid color several times. Each color just goes right over the previous one. And then a sander is used to partially strip the colors off to reveal the under coats. Then I guess you would put a clear coat over it. That's how I would do it.
