Painting Your Guitar

[Imbraddo]

I know it's becoming a little bit of a cliche but I really want to do it for a gig I have on Halloween night. What type of paint should I use?

[Destrokk]

I totally wanted to do that :)

Just like Chris <3

I guess it needs to be a special kind of paint.

Acrylic paints ;)

You can get them at your local music store but they're super expensive.

 

I suggest acrylic.

 

You need to sand down the guitar too, so the paint doesn't chip.

 

That means you'll need sealer.

 

That, you can get at your local music store. :D

Don't paint your guitar because Coldplay does it to, never do that!

What if they next tour have guitars without paint? Are you removing it and destroy your beautiful guitar? :)

[Coldplayplusjuanes]

I agree! ....if you do something to your guitar you should make it original and something that will be unique to you only...as chris has done with his guitar :)

[aniskywalker]

You can also use self-adhesive foil - this paint,stick on the guitar and remove later ;)

You know that you can't just paint a guitar?

 

I changed my bass color once and you have to do alot more than just paint to keep it look good.

I suggest Sharpie. Much easier and more fun to create an interesting design. ;)!
