This is my IB-7 that i have decided to do some custom artwork on. It loosely based around all the ways man has created ways for us to die. Things like 2 minutes to midnight, black plague, war, environmental issues , so on and so on. Its going to be finished with Kandy Green. I still have the neck, headstock and possibly the back to go. Im at around 25hrs so far.
Would love to know what me fellow builders think so far.

Unreal! This is shaping up to be something very special indeed.
thank you.Quote:

should come up really well.
I'm sure all that detail of the hand painting 25 hours so far is pretty good !
Hi mate, thanks for the comments. Im planning on painting it with Kandy Green auto paint. Its transparent and it will end up with a toffee apple look. Like a red stained glass.
nice plans Scooter, should really pop the artwork the green stain. Look forward to future updates
That is like Paisley for the post apocalypse! Stunning! Have you trialed the Candy Green over a test piece, it would be a travesty if it covered the artwork and didnt have the desired effect. Have you considered a stain with a tinted clear laquer over yhe top?

haha sounds like Scooter and Dedman have alot in common being big fans of death
Wow that artwork is amazing. Such a great job. First time i looked at it i thought it was a vinyl transfer! Mad skills dude!
Cheers,
Gav.
Looking awesome - keen to see how it all turns out.
Scoot your artwork is amazing well done. Its great you have a complete vision for the guitar. Really looking forward to your master piece.
Scoot, looking really great! :cool: I had it in mind to do a painted build one day. what paints are you using?
Thanks mate.
Thanks Gav. I do sometimes create my own Vinyl tops but went old fashioned this time.
Im using a mix of Airbrush acrylic, Matisse acrylic, Posca paint pens and some hidden pearl/flake airbrush paint that wont show until it has had a blast of Kandy and some clear.Quote:

It is starting to show the hidden layers. Once I put some 2K clear on this it should pop.
My actual guitar will be Kandy Green.
If you have any questions on Airbrushing with Kandy's, just drop me a line. More than happy to help.

looks great Scooter, I've not seen kandy done in burst before.
Its a cool effect when done right. Being Kandys, they can be a pain in the ass to blend.
yea, I know, I tried doing a candy flame in shades of blue over the top of flat similar colours on a bike tank, ended up sanding it off and doing one shade of candy blue with some pearl under it. Sometimes my ideas exceed my capabilities but you gotta try to find out. :P
I know exactly how you feel.Quote:
