Goodbye Guitar Hero!

Well not for good! I just spent half an hour taking my guitar apart so I can custom paint the body. I am going to leave the neck alone, but the body just got a good base coat of Patriotic blue. I used this Fusion spray paint, which is made for painting plastics. The paint works great, but I didn't realize that you have to wait 7 days for the paint to cure before you can add the next layer of color. Which is going to be red flames coming off the butt end of the guitar. So a process I thought was going to take a couple of days is now turning into a couple weeks! Oh well! as long as I get it done to take with me to the Chicago LAN I will be happy. Granted my GHII skills might suck by then!

Make sure you post pics. That sounds cool as hell.

Pictures will be forthcoming. I just have to figure out how to post them on my blog. I have a few of the insides of the guitar, which are pretty interesting.

Photobucket is really easy to use (and free). Once you post a photo there, it has the [img] tag already made for you to copy and paste the picture over.

I've been wanting to do something similar, though not quite on as grand of a scale. I would just like to make it look like the ebony Xplorer with the white pick guard. Was it difficult to disassemble? And before applying the Fusion paint, do you have to do any pre-work (eg. sanding of surfaces, etc.)? I've used Fusion before but it's been ages and I can't remember. So far (in reference to the picture post) it looks really good!
