Shiny Pink Floral
what kind of paint to use on shiny acoustic guitar...(acrylic- like finish on childs guitar?
I want to put floral design with my neice's name on tiny, but real..guitar. Its acoustic, made of wood, but the front of guitar is pink, hard plastik looking finish, --it almost looks like the finish of an electric, but you can see on sides that its just painted on top..I'm sure I'll spray with polyure...when I finish, but i don't know it that will keep it from scuffing off...IDEAS?
First make sure that any paint you use is lead-free - always a safe bet where children are concerned..
Second, lightly rub the whole surface with 600 - 1000 grit wet and dry carborundum paper (very fine 'sand' paper) as this will key the surface and allow the paint to take. Most motor factors / diy stores will sell this. Use water to keep the paper from clogging and minimise the fine dust that might irritate your nasal passages.
Since you are covering it with a hard polyurethane finish, this dull surface will help to hold onto the polyurethane and it will come up like new with the floral design underneath after the poly dries.
It would be better to do the whole surface rather than just the part on which you want to paint as it will give a more uniform look.
Good Luck, what a lovely idea!
