Astrosmurf Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Hi Guys N Gals Ive just picked up a Shine Stingray copy for £60 in pretty damn near mint condition baring the odd small ding. Ive got it mainly as a project as i want to do a colour change and maybe pickup. Before i start pulling it apart i have a couple of questions. 1 - Whats the best type of paint to use?? Im fairly ok with getting it painted as my dad sprayed cars for 40 years so its going to take care of the application. 2 - Where can i get custom pickguards made?? Im thinking of if i paint the body black going for a Black/Gold/Black 3 ply. Im sure there will be more and ill post pics up when i pick it up next week Thanks Muchos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrosmurf Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share Posted June 29, 2012 Reet, back off honeymoon and gonna get started on this now. Been looking at colours and going to go for an off white so its already got that aged kinda look. Found this pic and fell in lust..... Does anyone know if they make a pickguard that shape etc for a 4 string and if so where id be able to get one? Or where i can get one made....?

Will get some pics up later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubis Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 If I'm not mistaken that one is a transparent white finish on an ash body. One of my favourites too, but you need a grainy piece of wood to show through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
