I'm using this stuff to strip it: Soy-Gel Paint Stripper - Real Milk Paint ® I let it sit for like a half hour then scrape it off with an old credit card. It works great!

Hmmm... it seems to be the case with Schecter (or at least, my C8) that the clear coat + paint layer is rather easily removed with paint stripper.

The primer under it all is another matter though. Ugh.

I look forward to see the results of your soon-to-be labour of love!

I think you need to ensure that the primer/black stain is evenly removed or else you'll have an uneven stain.

for sure, i just put a little dye on there to see what it might look like when its done....i didnt let it soak in yet, just wiped it off real quick.

that will be sweet man. i think sparkling pink like daisy rock would have been sweet also.

Van Heezey · 12-13-2010, 09:13 PM

Man, that finish (right after you started stripping the finish) looks like it's living and someone took some bites in it. If I could have a finish like that on purpose, that would be amazing.

Wi77iam · 12-14-2010, 12:35 AM

you could try bleaching it for an even colour.

MaxOfMetal · 12-14-2010, 12:58 AM

That blue, especially with some Chrome hardware, will look spectacular.

Any update on this badboy?

pac1085 · 05-25-2011, 08:39 AM

I sold it. Someone on this board bought it and supposedly finished it in white. I haven't seen any pics.
