[ccubsfan94]

how many coats do you do and how much paint does it usually take.

What kind of paint do u use, I know Eddie used spray paint back then is that what u use?

[vanhalen5150jhs]

@daniltv1 this was done using Rustoleum Lacquer spray paints.

Man, you did a great job with this. I have bought everything I need to do this and I have since practiced it on two different guitars but I just can not get it right. The pattern I mean. I have every picture of that guitar I could find, from every angle and I still seem to get it wrong somehow. I am going to paint the good body I had made next and I am still not confident I will get it the way I want it. Are you using a template or guide of any kind or are you simply going off of pictures of it?

[madmatt216]

[KNJODWYER]

Thank you! I went though all different kinds of paints trying to do this before I found this video. Plain ole rustoleum laquer from the depot turned out to be my best project ebdeavor thus far. Thanks man!

[vanhalen5150jhs]

@KNJODWYER glad to help.

[DamianMunozMusic]

What paint and tape are you using?

[vanhalen5150jhs]

@DamianMunozMusic rustoleum lacquer spray paint and tthe 3/4 and 1/2 is regular masking tape from ace hardware, the 1/4 is auto painters tape. got it on ebay. you may beable to get it at an auto supply store.

[DamianMunozMusic]

@vanhalen5150jhs Thanks! I used painters tape from True Value and acrylic paint applied with a brush and it bled a lot and it had a very uneven surface so my next attempt ill use the stuff you do.
