ScottFinish Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 I am doing a very intricate design on my guitar and I am wondering what are some good ways to create a very clean looking design. I have seen a couple ways of doing it and I was just hoping you guys couple give me a couple more ideas. Here are some things I was thinking about doing: 1. Sketching out the design by hand 2. Taping and cutting away design 3. Stenciling Also any more details on these ideas would be appreciated as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottFinish Posted January 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 This is similar to something I would like to do except I would like to stencil or something http://www.lgmguitars.com/guitars/custom_electric/blfp.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim_ado Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 i think i you going to spray you should use tape. i you use a stencil you'll probably have to tape it down anyway if its that detailed and you confident you could try doing it by hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syxxstring Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 (edited) It's all a way of blocking paint. For the LGM guitar a stencil would be nice if you can get it digially done. So you could do the front and back the same. Masking has the advantage of being able to replace pieces if you want to back mask. But is a lot more work if your going to keep repeating the design. Your other choice is a latex liquid mask. Edited January 25, 2008 by syxxstring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
