When you guys paint your guitar, ...

do you take apart your guitar and spraypaint each part (not the circuit board or anything like that obviously), then put it back together so basically everything is painted, inside and out?

or

Do you just make the pattern and cover the strumbar and whammy bar and buttons and paint it?

I'm thinking of doing my guitar in a solid color minus the buttons. I'll probably leave those because I don't want to risk them being sticky or hard to play.

you take it apart but only paint the parts that are seen. theres no need to paint under the pick guard for example.

the reason to take it all apart is to prevent over spray.

i don't think you are able to break anything if you just unscrew all screws and be careful men unmount all parts. but if you still want pics or "support", msn me about it. i havent bothered to upload the pictures taken on that because i just wanted them for use whet i was going to assemble things up again.
