A Guitar And Gear Support Forum

This is a Shop Goodwill guitar I got for next to nothing. I stripped the paint and add some gold glitter paint. Putting it together with just stuff I had in the parts bin. Going to be just one volume pot and a kill switch. Plain and simple!

Looks good! How do you “like”? I thought exclamation was “like” and it was not. Hopefully this caused no issues

Thanks! I haven’t figured out how to “like” somebody’s post yet either. I think the ! Is for reporting a post.

There is no "like" yet, it's being worked on.

I like it! What paint did you use? I have an upcoming project and I was thinking of some sort of silver sparkle/metal flake sort of finish. Thanks!

I've said this before, but in my experience, I've found that most FA guitars have pretty darn decent necks. Definitely worth picking up for projects. Looking good, man!

Is a Rustolium gold metallic base with Rustolium gold glitter on top. The trick to the glitter paint is to use very little. So that’s why you have to do a base coat of the color you want. Don’t try to color your guitar with the glitter paint. Then you have to bury the glitter in a lot of clear coats because the glitter paint leaves the surface rough.
