It's Sherwin Williams is the store and the brand of paint is emerald and the color is electric lime green! Hope this helps.

Cool! We have those here. I was worried it was some Great White North brand…

Go slow take your time. I recommend waiting over night and sanding between coats. I probably waited 48 hrs, but not sure. I know I did that. Dont rush, and you will enjoy the results.

Edit: I am looking forward to this and am following this thread.

The funny thing, this paint we are using is a flat finish so it dries hella fast! It was done drying the first coat to touch in 1 hour.

Nice paint job btw. I am getting a cheap rip off strat and I am doing a EVH black/white clone (my version) soon when I am done this. I need to buy 2 maple necks tho to match. But ill get everything looking cool soon. :)
 
Re: Making my cheap guitar AWESOME!

Stupid question, is that paint just off the shelf paint you can get at a hardware store? I was wondering if there was any 'wrong' paint, to avoid painting a guitar with.

oh - yeah…cool! Wel, hot, actually.

But you ARE going to paint the cover hot pink, right?
 
Re: Making my cheap guitar AWESOME!

That is going to be soooo totally 80's. I love it! <3

I agree, it needs PINK pickups!!!!
 
Re: Making my cheap guitar AWESOME!

I like how no one is mentioning it needs a maple fretboard! I am baffled
 
Re: Making my cheap guitar AWESOME!

Pink Pickups will look cool . and since they are actives, if I am not wrong they should be easy to paint.

really? I don't recall seeing many "80s shred guitars" with ebony boards, I would think more maple fretboard...

I was speaking purely in terms of nice colour coordination rather than shred guitar conformity.
