pickguard for fender
What things do I need to paint a Fender Stratocaster GOLD?
The guitar has no paint on it, I still need to sand? What spray paint mark must be used to paint and what brand I can use to clear coat? What type should I use tape to cover the parts that do not want paint? Do I have to paint the rapper in a special way, or paint the same way I painted the rest?
Hello! It is necessary to prepare the wood with a sealant appropriate, apply a primer coat, followed up with multiple layers of color and color-sanded, finished with a clear coat, and perform a final sanding and polished surface. You do not need to do any additional sanding before starting the process, if you are satisfied with the surfaces. After applying the first coat, it is possible find spots that need filling and sanding before the additional layers of color. The striker needed no primer or clear coat, but use some sandpaper 1000 grain to dull the surface before painting. Be sure to use a quality brand of spray paint you can buy off the shelf "(Krylon, Rustoleum, etc) a hardware store or even get mixed colors (Dupont, Sikkens, etc) and put into spray cans at your local auto store parts. If you use hairspray, it will help easy to work with the glaze, however, is harder to find more colors in aerosol cans. Make sure you get all the paint, which are capable sand color of the target. Mask the areas you want left exposed using the half-tac (usually blue, like the 3M brand) painter's tape. For really get a professional looking finish, you need a good tutorial on how the Stewart-MacDonald Spray Refinishing http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Video DVD, _DVD / finishing, _repair / Spray_Finishing.html or paint your own guitar http://www.paintyourownguitar.com/ book. Hope this helps some. Best Regards, Dana
