Hi, first off a little introduction, my names Marc and i've been playing about 2 years now, I have 3 guitars altogether one of which is an Epi Lp100 thats about 8 years old. I got it cheap from a friend and whilst it wasn't in bad condition there were a few nicks in the paint, the pickups were dead and the wiring looked liked it needed replacing. So after having it sitting under my bed for the past year I decided i'd get to work on it and replace the pickups and wiring and while im at it i'd attempt to respray it aswell. I'd also like to add that this is my first ever attempt at anything like this so it may be a long and arduous journey
This is a quick sketch to show the paint scheme i'm hoping to achieve (imagine it with all chrome hardware aswell).
This is how it looked to begin with.
Now after I sanded it down.
I'm registered over at the Uk Guitar Builders Forum and wezv has been helping me alot (thanks wezv ) I thought i'd register here aswell though and get as much help as possible so please comment as much as you can.
The first problem i've encountered is my over zealous sanding has caused me to go through the original sealer in places, what would be best to remedy this? Plenty or primer or a new layer or sealer before I primer?
Thanks in advance
