Hey all,
I recently acquired myself a Sonic Blue-coloured, Allparts-made Stratocaster body, which I planned to decorate. The body is "Finished in <colour> under hard polyurethane", as stated on the Allparts website. I've already read about painting a guitar body from other forums/posts, but one this wonders me: does the lacquer from the body have to be sanded, before starting the painting? In case it has to, what is the easiest way to prepare the body for that?
All the needed info is welcome at this point, as detailed as possible
My plan is to use either acrylics, nail polishes, Day-Glo or what's available on the art supply stores. What should be taken into account when purchasing either one of the following paints? If for one reason or another I'm not able to sand the lacquer, which paint would be the most ideal to use then?
I doubt that George Harrison, Jimi Hendrix, Keith Richards, Jimmy Page etc. went through preparing the body before painting.
Thanks in advance for responds!
