Eddiecurbside Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 I have an SG special neck that i'm going to use on a gibson jr. i'm building but I want to paint it yellow instead of the red that it is. What is the best way to remove paint from a guitar neck? Is it all sand paper or is there another way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessejames Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 scrape it with a razor blade then sand the remnants off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddiecurbside Posted December 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 do you mean like a hand planer or paint scraper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WezV Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 he means a razor blade.... held like a mini wood scraper wood scrapers are just a rectangle of tool steel that gets used like this: a proper scraper takes some setting up, but razors or utility knife blades can often be used as mini versions straight out the pack ... but the real question is if you really need to remove all the finish to get what you want. could you not just key the surface and over spray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
