Anyone ever paint a guitar?

(1/1)

bartre:
well, i've got an old telecaster style guitar that i want to give a good paint job or even reshape the body a little bit.
thing is, i'm drawing a blank on the paint, maybe something bright?
does anyone have an idea or two for me?

protokatie:
Megadeth Rust in peace theme? Personally, I prefer cooler colors, so if you could do good artwork for it, I would go with Metallica Ride the Lightning cover art theme, it isn't bright like the aformentioned theme, but would look good. Or were you asking about what kind of paint to use? For that I have no idea...  :dunno

Ginsu Victim:
Have you ever actually painted a guitar? You'd better know what you're doing because it's going to look like total crap if you don't do it EXACTLY right.

Paladin:
A guy I used to work with painted his own, and recommended this website:

For what it's worth, he said it turned out great.  I never saw it though.

bartre:
well, i do a lot of painting with spray cans and airbrushes, but I'm not a genius with them.
I think i can do some neat stuff with patterns and the like, but there's no real way i could do rust in peace on this thing.
perhaps a black and yellow swirl?
