Ever tried painting your own guitar?

Thanks to the help of John Gleneicki and his book "How to create a factory finish with just a couple cans of spray paint", I've been getting some pretty good results. And yes ... these were done with regular 'ol Krylon sparypaint purchased from Walmart!

Thanks Jon!
I had a BLAST with these projects!

Just curious as to why my attachements are "pending approval".
I can NEVER get my pics to post properly on this site.

Hey Freebird,

Check out www.paintyourownguitar.com

Here is a pic of my last paintjob, and a pic of my current project ... the EVH "Star" guitar.

I've had pretty good luck with my own refinishes. I always opt for staining over painting, as I love showcasing the wood grain.

To tell you the truth, though, I hate the process (impatient), and will pay someone to do the job next time.

just this morning i grabbed my first bass and decided to paint my name on it. LoL

I got some of that Jasco paint removed, masked stuff off, cut out my name, appied ooze, wiped ouff paint, dried and finally re-painted

it looks like crap. i love it!
