 | RG1527 Refinish *WITH PICS* Hey, I don't post much on here, I tend to stalk alot more than contribute, but yesterday I decided to refinish my 1527 and make it more METAL!!! than it already is. I'm sure you all have a good idea of what a black dinged up and scratched up 1527 workhorse looks like, so i have no "before" pics. It was basically all stock except with an evo 7 in the bridge and an air norton 7 in the neck. This project is probably going to take a while but here's some pics of the first steps... I'm still not sure what to do with it after all the paint is off though (still need to do the sides). Natural? White with black JPM stickers? Textured? Bright pink with a hello kitty decal? suggestions are appreciated  Last edited by Crescent2k6; 04-14-2008 at 04:27 PM. Reason: *WITH PICS* |

| Hello Kitty decals FTW!!!  I'd say white with black body binding/outlining paint. Make the headstock match it.  Dark clouds in your heaven. Your end has only begun. You can scream but there's no rescue, I promise I'll make you sure that you die in time.  |

| I'd go for a totally outrageous colour myself... Make it like it just came out the eighties!  Like one of the old RG550 colours or something, it'd look awesome |

| Looks good so far. I think I would try and go for a color that is totally different! Go to a paint store and have them mix you up a custom color so you will be the only one with that color! Keep up the good work! Jerry Cantrell is the man!  I want a ziploc rain coat. zepp88 Originally Posted by yellowv Matt does awesome work, but knows his shit.

| well the sides are the hardest to sand, geting around the pointy sides of the guitar are the hardest! you need to do it by hand. i dont think hello kitty is to metal, try my little pony. |

 | white. not enough white guitars. failing that, as light a blue as you can get. pretty much, people would be doing doubletakes to make sure it was, in fact, a tiny bit blue and not white lol. that's what I'd do. Or give it a JP7ish feel, and get that metallic orange colour. white, light blue, or that. 3 cheers for free gear! "Do you like burned toast with your JAM? cuz we're on FIRE!"  |

| I refinished an old rg550 and ended up leaving some of the original paint in some spots and sprayed a transluscent blue over it. It ended up looking something like a bsb, which didn't even occur to me at the time. Mostly I did it because I'm lazy. I'm currently refinishing a black rg7620 in a similar fashion, but I'm only doing the top. Like someone else posted above it just takes too long to sand the sides.  |
