TheDuff! Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 (edited) I have this really old(and cheap) guitar that i'd like to fix up a litte..It has a lot of little skratches in it and stuff,so I thought i'd buy a can of spraypaint and give it a little make-over..But can it damage the guitar?I'm planning on putting some tape over the pickups and the fretboard,but I'm still worried that some paint can "get in" the guitar,and hence ruining it..The guitar itself is a cheap fender knock-off,that didn't cost me more that 100$ five years ago,so it wouldn't be THAT big of a deal if something were to happend to it..Right now it's black,but I would like to make it red or blue..Anyone ever done anything like this before?How was the result?Any tips would be great Edited October 15, 2007 by TheDuff!
