How To Give A Guitar A Custom Paint Job - The Tragical Mystery Tour

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

This is how I give a guitar a custom paint job. I came across an old guitar in my travels and decided to give it a makeover. I used some of the stuff I had lying around the garage to paint an alien skeleton floating through the vacuum of space attached to a single ballon because I'm not particularly good at physics and why the hell not!

    It looks like you used Liquitex acrylic paint for a lot of the painting here. How would you say the paint has held up over time? I'm researching how to paint guitars and trying to see if I can get away with using the acrylics I have rather than going out and buying nitrocellulose paint haha.

    Hey there. I designed it myself. I took a picture of the guitar and then I drew out what I wanted on it and used it as a guide to copy it onto the guitar using a white pencil. I made another tutorial where I used some stencils and stuff but I done this one free hand. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching ✌️❤️

    Blending different colours of spray paint always works well. I've seen folk do some cool stuff with masking tape and making geometric shapes and stuff. I put a spray varnish over what I painted and its kept it looking sharp. I can onky assume any varnish or lacquer would do the trick as long as you keep it off any pickups and stuff. Hope it goes well ✌️❤️
