Paul S Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 [quote name='dood' timestamp='1487794174' post='3243057'] Of the pickguard makers advertising, how can I be sure that the types they make are exact versions for the instrument required? Or, to put it another way, who can confidently say that they will do a version of say a US Precision plate where the screws are in exactly the right place? I know that said plate does fit one of my instruments and the screw holes line up. I'd be cheesed off if I bought a new plate (in say a non-standard colour) only to find that, having been advertised as a certain type, that it wasn't a correct fit for one reason or another.

fiatcoupe432 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Or just sand down the pickguard spray some plastic primer and spray it black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fftc Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 [quote name='fiatcoupe432' timestamp='1487847849' post='3243453'] Or just sand down the pickguard spray some plastic primer and spray it black [/quote] Does this actually work and provide a hard enough wearing finish? The worst thing would be to have a peeling flaking pickguard that was then no use in its original colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] If sanded down properly and clean properly shodn t be a problem , however you can use polycrylic after painted and that should do it .
