How Do I Add a Record Cover to a guitar body

[NewHalen5150]

I saw this on ebay once with a van halen fair warning record onto a guitar body..any ideas on how to do this or come close tho doing it without a real record cover..

if you can get the image you want on a piece of paper - scan the cover, find a pic on the net, etc. - then you can follow the material finish tutorial...

yeah but if you get it copied on to paper wouldn't the filler and laq ruin the paper and the image would be all jazzed up..

so I I go to kinkos and have them blow up a image onto a big ass piece of paper, then cut it out to the body, and then laquer it ona few thousand times that will work? It won't mess up the image on the paper when I apply the Laq will it..??

Always do a test first but as long as your starting out with a fine mist coat to top it you shouldn't have that big of a problem. It's the people that think they have to drench it in clearcoat right off the bat that find themselves in trouble fast.
