Members Shadyhall-800 Posted September 16, 2005 Members Share Posted September 16, 2005 What's up guys, I have a Tribute S-500 with a natural finish and I'm considering painting it. I bought the guitar used for cheap so I'd like to experiment a little with it. I'm thinking of doing a psychedelic paint job on it but I don't know the process or which paint to buy. Remember, I probably won't be needing a spray (hand painted) and the guitar is already a natural finish. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it turned out pretty good. Personally I would've gone for more colours but. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SorrowAblaze Posted September 17, 2005 Members Share Posted September 17, 2005 I like the swirls with less colors. Some of Ibanez's factory swirls looked like psychedelic vomit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Shadyhall-800 Posted September 17, 2005 Author Members Share Posted September 17, 2005 Thanks guys, that web site is pretty cool. What about hand painting? What kind of paint would I have to use and would it be mandatory to sand or anything? What about sealing the paint after it's applied? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
