Old Timer Tim Posted December 12, 2008 Report Posted December 12, 2008 Just got a used Squier P Affinity & the body needs new paint. Can anybody tell me what the original finish is? Paint? Lacquer? Kryptonite? Quote
ihocky2 Posted December 12, 2008 Report Posted December 12, 2008 Should be polyester, but with the abuse it takes, it could be depleted uranium. Quote
Old Timer Tim Posted December 14, 2008 Author Report Posted December 14, 2008 Most likely polyester Thanks Quarter & ihocky2. Polyester? I might be outa my league here. Will this be like repainting a Corvette? Quote
syxxstring Posted December 14, 2008 Report Posted December 14, 2008 No, just a hard to strip finish. The heatgun is the only option I've ever found for them. Quote

syxxstring Posted December 15, 2008 Report Posted December 15, 2008 Yup, there is tutorial on the main site. Quote
