I decided to paint my SG today. I ran into a problem however when I was painting my pickguard. I held the can stupidly and it shot enough propelant out to leave big gouges in the paint. I tried to whipe it clean and repaint it but now it looks all uneven and ugly. Any suggestions? _________________

Sand it.
Once smooth, clean dust and repaint. _________________

pickguard i'm assuming means the strumbar. As stated earlier, just sand it all off and try some nylon fusion paint.
I've painted a few guitars, and finally decided the strumbar wasn't worth painting. Due to constant pressure and swet from the fingers it wears off rather quickly. So I decided to use ducktape from now on to get the color for the strumbar. Put it on once you have the whole guitar together, just make sure u don't pinch the edges.. _________________

I have it figured out before I checked back. I found some 400 grit sandpaper laying around and decided to try using it. It's pretty dirty though so I'm going to pick up some of my own later. _________________

Before you repaint don't forget to use a very fine grit after the rougher sanding to make it as smooth as possible. _________________

Yep. Something above 500 is good for it, right? _________________

I used 400 grit when I sanded mine. I messed up the first time too and had to redo it. |
