Behold the V-250 refinishing...(56k LOL)

D-EJ915 · 06-02-2007, 11:58 PM

well if you're painting it then getting to the raw wood isn't a huge deal, but it'd be easier if you didn't. Since I was sculpting the heel I had to get into the raw wood, but after like 2 coats it was fine.

I did 60 grit to get the paint off, then once that was done I switched down to 200 to finish it up. Then I started spraying and hit 200 & 400.

On the neck underneath the paint there's a satin "sealer" I guess it would be called, anyway, I broke through that in 2 spots on the neck (and 2 spots where I sculpted the bolt joint a bit) and I haven't been able to fix them up yet, I think I might end up having to paint the neck because of that, not a huge deal but whatever. I'm gonna see what I can do, but I'm gonna finish painting first.

You mean I can just paint over my current finish with only light sanding? (Sry, I'm a real paint noob)...

D-EJ915 · 06-03-2007, 12:22 AM

Well...you could but you should sand it down past the actual coloured paint...

That looked pretty cool, kinda like it was on fire or something.

Sebastian · 06-03-2007, 03:00 AM

Man.. this finish

Would look totally Badass

D-EJ915 · 06-03-2007, 09:51 AM

Yeah it is cool, except the inside part of the wings was really not coated as much as the rest of the body so I wore through it, and I was lazy sanding it so there was still the purple/red colour

oh well.

It'll be forest camo tonight sometime.

NickCormier · 06-03-2007, 04:10 PM

did you sand it with a sander or by hand.. and what grit? (did I read 80?)

D-EJ915 · 06-03-2007, 08:52 PM

Sander

60...then 200...then 400

since it was raining today, I decided to leave it as-is for right now and when these strings wear out I guess I'll finish it up. The two long bright spots on the neck are where I wore through the satin finish, the part above them is flame.

Wow, that looks fucking nice dude!

Vic Rattlehead · 06-03-2007, 09:57 PM

man that looks cool. This is really making me want to do a new refinishing project. I did a metallic grey with a black burst on a washburn I got at a guitar store going out of business for only 5 bucks. Im pretty happy with how it turned out but I'd like to give another shot at refinishing now that I've at least had a little experience.
