Got My Striker Painted!

[rickblacker]

It's supposed to be a Plazma Ball... I admit dosen't look a LOT like one, but it's cool none the less.

It's NOT polished yet. I found out today that i can't polish it yet (with any kind of wax) until the poly cures for 90 days. I said heck with it and put it back together, and in 90 days I'll take it back apart and polish her up and make her nice and shiney.


Upgrades include :
* Seymour Duncan George Lynch Screamn' Deamon pup
* Gotoh tremolo

Very nice job on that one, Rick! You'd have to pay big bucks to get something like that done at a shop!

The shocking pink outlines are just so awesome. Seriously cool concept. Looks very pro to me. How was it done? It bought a huge smile to me face. I love it.

Hi Nick... Glad I could put a smile on your face.

Well, what I did was this :

1) Take it apart (<--- Captain Obvious strikes again )
2) Buff the existing stock clear coat with some 1000 grit
3) Air brushed all the white, which was all the electricity
4) Came back over it with magenta candy paint
5) Came back over it with the blue candy paint
6) Brightened some of it back up with some white paint
7) Clear coated it.

I just got it buffed out this weekend, damn it looks sweet now.
