There's a company called James Tyler that do a range of custom painted guitars & one of their range is a distressed looking guitar called "burning water". Here's a guitar I've just finished painting that I've titled "smoke on the water", due to the smoke on the black background. :incheek:
I started out with a sanded down body
Which I then primed & gave a black basecoat
I then added some smoke in white, to which I then added some green candy
I then lacquered the artwork & sprayed the guitar silver followed by House Of Color passion purple
After flatting the purple down to the artwork underneath, I ended up at this stage with the distressed look & then lacquered it.
.
Here's the finished article after flatting/polishing & rebuilding with the pickups, strings etc
All in all a very simple method to get a distinctive looking guitar, hope you like it. :tup:
