Sweeson makes a good point in that there are different materials and methods used in finishing cars and wood. I got out of cars and now I finish furniture for a small custom furniture builder. One thing still remains the same, you need to know how to spray properly, and that comes with experience.

Sweeson, I have done metalflake back in my younger days, it can be done on a guitar if you want that bass boat look, but don't confuse metalflake with a metallic finish, they are two different animals. Hope this helps.

I am not really looking for that bass boat look.

I'm looking for more of an individual work of art so to speak.........

Don't use Sims custom painting! He has my guitar and will not respond to my emails or phone calls! And he has a F rating with the BBB!

Look up MJ Tele. I had a body painted by those guys a few years ago and was very satisfied with their work. They walked me through the entire process and delivered exactly what I wanted.

I myself was watching this thread thinking that there might be something up—but was really hoping for a change in heart and attitude. I do like talking about guitars and how to work on them. But agenda driven threads really do take the fun out of being on a forum.

From the first posting on this thread I suspected mr.G for trying to 'smoke someone out' -for example Xhefri :roll:
I still suspect the two ,mr.G and Shwee to be one and the same guy, using the same pictures in the same agenda. Good they're banned !
