Members flatheadpete Posted February 18, 2010 Members Share Posted February 18, 2010 Well, my first guitar paint job. My '65 Caddy is black w/red Kandy flake on the roof. I've painted prolly 25 other misc. items in this same way. Watch for a tech how to thread soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members harold heckuba Posted February 18, 2010 Members Share Posted February 18, 2010 You wont have good results by using filler to fill holes as large as those for pots. You need to glue in a dowel and cut it off flush. Otherwise it will just crack and fall out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members guitarheo3 Posted February 21, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 21, 2010 so i just went out to check on it and did the thumb test (press thumb nail in to see if it dents) and it passed and didn;t dent. so does that mean it's cured?
