86Timewarp Posted June 18, 2011 Author Share Posted June 18, 2011 it is working finally =D phew, button straps, i know what you are talking about now... a sewing shop maybe? but i think you should go to a hardware / home improvement store, they do have that stuff, as well as everything you need do solder & proper handles. and they'll supply you with any kind of paint you'd want for your painting jobs... and the plywood =D dude, these stores are just meant to deliver anything for any handicraft work, belive me, i'm used to them (building guitars myself & stuff...^^) look in the department for curtains / drapes, i'd bet they have button straps or something similar. shall the strap be made of leather? then i'd buy a guitar strap and cut it down until it fits. (there are farily cheap ones but you'll only want the leather ^^) Nah I was using it as an example, and thank you! Do you recommend black paint in a can?

princesanji Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 if it is a spray can, yes^^ sprays are earier to handle and the layers won't get too thick. the result will be more evenly and it will dry fast ( i'd always let my guitars hang to dry for over night, but look at the instructions^^) normal paint for walls etc... i wouldn't do it. i always prefer sprays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
