Adam Explosion Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 I'm a n00b when it comes to this but I think it's an interesting skill to have and I tip my hat to anyone that can do this... Anyway, bought this lefty SG neck (already fretted, truss inserted, etc.) and body on eBay. It comes unpainted and what not... Anyway, I read up on a few websites on how to go about painting it... So I put all of my knowledge I have gathered so far and went out and bought a few supplies. Rustoleum clear Lacquer for my clear coat. B.I.N. Shellac Base Primer. Zinsser Bulls Eye Shellac Traditional Finish & Sealer. And I'm going to place in order on Guitar Re-Ranch as soon as the store is up and running again. I plan on painting this guitar Seafoam Green and they're the only place that has it. Anything I did wrong/may need to take back? Also, how am I going to paint the SG? It has no holes to hang it by.

killemall8 Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 you can just hang it by a bolt through a tuner hole. just make sure that rustoleum is compatable with reranches paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Explosion Posted April 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 It doesn't say not to use it with anything on the back of the clear lacquer can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killemall8 Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 that harldy means anything. no laquer can be used on top of enamel. it will eat through it, and melt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Explosion Posted April 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 So the best thing to do would be to take it back and just order a clear coat from Re-Ranch along with the Seafoam Green when they're back up and running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Explosion Posted April 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Good idea. I plan on making a fully in-depth work log/tutorial if it all turns out okay. I can't find ANY online. Maybe I'm not looking the right place but every tutorial I've seen isn't in depth enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyManAndy Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 There is a tutorial on Re-Ranch. One of the Re-Ranch forum members also made a tutorial. I can send it too you if you'd like. Test on scrap first, but I'm pretty sure the Rustoleum is compatible. CMA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
