Surely you guys have seen swirled guitars before right? Vai's DNA model is what made these popular.....

Very cool. From what I've seen on other message boards it can be kind of tricky. Can't wait to see how it turns out.......

from my experience with paint, be sure to leave the first clear coat, and it can be tricky, take the original paint with some light sand paper (it will take time), leave the clear coat but water sand it a little, to thin it a little, paint will dry better there, and do the new painting FAST, dont let the guitar absorb the humidity
this will be fun!!, and a great wiki entry! -------------------- Check my Instructor Profile Rockers! Got a Blog too!, www.adriantracks.com Follow me on facebook and youtube! -Youtube |

Hmm... Getting all the paint off the body can be time consuming. If you have a cheap spare body for experimenting, I would suggest painting over everything one primary coat, and them trying the swirl thing. If succeeds, then you can start from bare wood, apply primary and then swirl paint, and then clear coat... I hope this makes sense, and I hope this is doable tho, not really sure if that is the proper way, just an idea

I think I will definitely scuff the original paint, and re-primer over the top of it. Especially for my first try! Aaah, that makes sense -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

Its so cool that you are going to try this and document it...Do you have a video cam or something to shoot the actual process and make a tutorial?? If it works as intended, then I'm sure many will try too since results are really amazing... -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

Just so I understand you correctly, I should keep the original finish on the guitar...just scuff up the clear coat a little? But what if the original color isn't one that you want? For instance, the body I bought is black...I want to do a blue scheme. i mean, keep the very first clear coat, don't apply the paint on the raw wood -------------------- Check my Instructor Profile Rockers!

there is a clear coat before the paint too, well im not sure if it's called clear coat now , it's something that goes directly on the wood!
