balooka Posted March 11, 2004 Report Share Posted March 11, 2004 today there was a salesrep in my bro's paintshop and he was looking at my just finished routing jigs for my upcoming guitar and he asked my bro if it was gonna be a satch chromeboy... My bro is not the one to talk about when it comes to guitars but anyway, he said he has some kinda paint that will actually leave a chrome finish (over a deep black base and sealed with a bunch of clears). Have you ever seen this stuff? He'll be back in a few weeks to bring some samples to test with. It's somekind of 'complex' spaying to achieve the best result but it is not the stuff we used on our bikehelmets and get them hard-chromed (dipped ina bath). So it's chrome in a jar... I'm planning to use it on my crappy epiphone after i stripped and sanded it into a decent shape. ps. its the same dude that supplies my bro with metalflake, rainbow/holoflake etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biblical Posted March 11, 2004 Report Share Posted March 11, 2004 ive seen pics of it on the net, its pretty decent but no where near as close as an electolyisis done chrome guitar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angry_jeremy Posted March 14, 2004 Report Share Posted March 14, 2004 There's only 5 colors though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 For glow in the dark I want to try "Strontium Aluminate with Europium as the activator. This stuff beats the tar out of any Zinc Sulfide which is what you have been use to. It glows brightly for hours and hours. You can use the powder by mixing with paints, glue, epoxy, plastics you name it!" 6 Oz. for $45 http://www.riskreactor.com/merchant2/merch...ode=PPSB-06100G looks interesting...something i may want to try on my 7 string v i am working on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skibum5545 Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 http://www.alsacorp.com/products/retroglow.../retro_show.htm Apparently the glow stuff goes on invisible... if you were to do glow flames on a colored background, they wouldn't show at all unless it were dark. Taking this idea further, what if you did one flame pattern with colored paint, say, yellow on red, and then a different COMPLIMENTARY flame pattern that only shows when it's dark enough to be seen? The possibilities are endless!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjaguar13 Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 Would 6 oz be enough for a guitar body? A pint of glow paint is $165. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Librero Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 Can those Krylon glow-in-the-dark spray cans be used? I'm thinking about using them for a strat-type body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
