howdy fellas

some might have read my earlier post where I was talking about painting one of my guitars as a try-out to find out if I can succeed.

I`ve now bought tons of spraylacquer (I don`t mind getting expensive special paint since its an old, lousy guitar), and I`m ready to begin practising at some pieces of wood and take of the old lacquer.

When I`m about to re-paint the guitar, should I mask up mics, knobs etc. or just take out everything? If the paintjob ends up good, I`ll probably spend some money re-newing everything. If it fails I have to do it again...so it might be easier taking everything out now smile.gif ?

then to a more open question. I`ve not quite decided how to paint it. Since the only thing I have to make patterns with is masking tape, advanced stuff will be difficult. The classic VH look is ofcourse and option, but if I`m able to make circles, I`ve been thinking about something like the "rising sun" motive: http://thegrandnarrative.files.wordpress.c.../rising-sun.gif . I`m planning to colour it like a reverse macedonian flag, red sun and yellow background.

hit me with some ideas biggrin.gif
