The Camaro Club (UK)

here's a couple of pics of a guitar I've just finished painting for a mate. He'd seen this design on a guitar & wanted to replicate it. This was a brand new Gibson that he'd just bought, but he didn'tlike the rose colour of it, so I had to strip it to bare wood & start from scratch. The grain was really bad on it, so I had to grain fill the whole thing before I could start.

It was then primed & flatted

A base white applied




After masking out the design, it was painted black, the masking then removed & lacquered.





This was then flatted with 1500, followed by 2000 grit wet & dry & cut back & polished

A pic of the shine/reflection in the finished lacquer.





He seemed really happy with it, which makes the effort all worth while

Looks brilliant..

How did you get the logo, did you manage to source a template, or that all masked and cut by hand ?

Hi Stu, I had my mate who owns a graphics shop plot & cut it out for me. It was a really easy guitar to do, but does look quite effective
