Hey, I made a photoshop of it! hehe

I know I'm not very good, though.

Here:

Roughly like this, no? But with better color transition and better glitter.

To my eye, it looks like blue base under a sliver flake then a transparent black burst.

There are lots of ways to do it depending on exactly what result you want and the $$ you are looking to spend.

Still needs another clear session and leveled and polished.

Good job!! Well, I want something exactly like the pic I showed you. How much do you think I would have to spend?

The guitar has more than one shade of blue. Or is is just the black that makes the blue look darker?

It looks as if they painted the blue. Flaked it only on the center and then painted the edges black. But the black layers over the blue on the edges.

Just my idea.

It just looks staggering! Really love it. Thinking about refinishing an Ibanez RG7 like that.

What do you think? Possible?

Hey mighty luthiers!

I just realized there is a forum only for finish related questions... I'm sorry, I posted a topic in the wrong forum because of my noobness...

Anyway, here's a link:

I suppose the moderator could also move it over here.

Thanks,

The ding is huge (at least in my opinion), and the clear is about 3mm thick. I can't glue the pieces back together because they're not opaque, and the glue might dissolve the paint. Also, I don't have all the pieces.

Here is a picture:

It has the adhesive tape covering the pieces.

The idea I liked most was swedishluthier's. That might work, no?

Hello people,

I'm new to the forum but I do come to projectguitar often... It has helped me quite a few times.

Anyway, I'm sorry to just barge in asking questions, but, if you'll help me, here's the deal:

I have an Ibanez Jem GMC. A few months ago it suffered a fall and the finish on the upper edge next to the arm rest cracked and broke. Only the clear was affected, not the paint. I picked up all the bits and assembled the "puzzle" and covered it all with adhesive cellophane (I think it is).

But of course, I'm not happy... it looks bad and the adhesive is starting to come off.

So, I would like to ask you guitar shop gurus if it is possible to repair it... The clear is really thick (never guessed it would be that thick).

It doesn't have to be perfect, I accept the fact that you can see it was repaired, but is it even possible to refinish just that bit?

I appreciate your help.

Cheers,

Filipe
