I`ve been helping at my kid`s school in Ipswich QLD,going in early and showing kids how to paint and put a guitar together. We`ve used pressure pack paints (enamel) to limit costs and lack of spray booth. They got to create their own headstock shape and choose colour. We`ve used a swirl paint method on three of them. The kid`s are very happy with the results. So I thought I`d share them with you. Hope you like.
Thanks

That is awesome stuff! Well done kids!

Welcome to the Forums Ross, and what a great job you've done with the kids in helping them make 4 very nice guitars. Its hard to pick a winner out of them. Four budding Luthiers in the making there.
Pass on to the kids how impressed we all are.
Cheers

KIDS DID THOSE!! You are an awesome teacher.
Thanks for your comments. It`s great to be able to have an input into these kids. Who knows what it might lead to. Hopefully we will have another group next year. So Pitbull guitars will get a call with another order. These kits are a great starting point.
We are about 25min from racetrack, not that I get there to much as I had a bit to do with speedway. (Originally from Esperance WA.)
I`ve been building Ukuleles, an electric and am currently in the process of building three Accoustics
