Hey, I'm making my first guitar, an Eastwood Airline style guitar and I want it to be glossy sky blue with a checker plate pickguard. As I'm new I'm not sure about what types of paint and methods of painting there are so I would like some suggestions. I've looked in the tutorials but none really seem to describe what I'm looking for.
I want the general finish to look like this: http://img224.imageshack.us/img224/4368/gt...ejackstddu7.jpg
I don't know If you can get this effect by staining or if you need to paint. I have a Yamaha RGX 112 that has the finnish I want but in red so I can post some pics of that too if you need them.
Thanks
