I am getting ready to repaint my squier strat body. I plan on painting it black. I am wanting to do some relic work on it. My question is this..do I do the relicing before or after the clearcoat?

Thanks!

Hello Adamym,

Frankly, I would just skip the clear coating altogether.

Sand her down, black sandable primer, black gloss laquer.
do your relic thing and play with regularity.

Couple of spray bombs and sanding paper $30
Your "reliced" creation priceless.

Best of luck on the "improvement"

Cheers.

I was wondering about that myself. I don't want a real shine to it like the clearcoat would do. Maube just one coat of clearcoat?

What color is the guitar now?

I wouldn't sand it down to bare wood, however. I would just paint it black, throw on some clear coat, and then do your relicing. They look really cool when you see the color underneath show through. And check out here.
