- method of painting to use (ie. air brush, air gun, spray can, etc.)
- how to use the painting medium/ tool to obtain the pattern
- what paints to use ( types : acrylic, etc. colors: green (mixed with?..), royal blue, etc.)
- i also have a budget of $300 U.S.
please help me, i really appreciate it, thank you sooo much!
oh yes, i also want to put in mother of pearl trapezoid inlays on the fingerboard. if some could write me a little tutorial on this thread to cutting and installing trapezoid inlays on my explorer (rosewood fingerboard, chrome frets) and carving the cavaties for them and also, where i can buy them, i would be thankful!
