paintingrookie Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Hi all, I have an alder strat body in poly 3 tone sunburst which I need to relic to show wear and paint black as for David Gilmour's black strat. How much preparation do I need to do before I do the overspray coats? I also need to do a similar job for the neck which is a 1994 Squier, and requires to be amber as for vintage necks. This too will be poly not nitro, same question regarding preparation. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syxxstring Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 I'm going to give a standard answer here and say read the manufacturers information for the paint you are going to use. It will tell you to sand to a specific grit and clean in a certain way. You probably are scuffing with a red or grey scotchbrite, or sanding in the neighborhood of 400 grit. This assumes you are not dealing with a damaged or worn surface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
