Now I just need to find a container but enough to do the body. Attemped the body last weekend. Tried it with a 40 gallon garbage can.......Fail. Maybe I'll post the video later.

It would need to be deep enough to be dipped @$$ end first. I've seen videos of people doing it with a 55g can. Thought One of my smaller ones would work......nope. Picking up a 55 today.

So when you failed with the garbage can, do you strip the paint off and try again, or not worry about it?

Within a minute after the dip, I was washing it off with paint thinner. There was a little color still in the primer, so.after a couple days drying, I lightly sanded it. I went pretty thick with the primer, so it should good to go now.

Here's my failed attempt.

Re: Got the headstock painted at least.

Well why not just wash the thing off with thinners and try again? Was it in there long enough?

That's very nice! Were factory-painted guitars done this way, too? Some guy dipping guitars 8-hrs a day, or is there a different method for production line stuff?
Whatever, that headstock looks super cool.

I would guess it's similar, but maybe 4 or 5 guitars going in at once into a big trough.
