Deemz KurtCobain806 said: where can u buy paint for a guitar?I got mine for free from my buddy who owns the body shop but, he told me there are actual automotive paint stores that sell nothing but paint for cars. You might try looking in the phone book for your area and see it any are listed. When we finish this last coat we will have use just over a pint of paint so you don't need a lot.
Deemz Augustus_McCrae said: you used a full pint on one guitar? 😲Not straight paint. But the mixture or paint, laquer thinner and harder was just over a pint. I am not sure how much actual paint we used because i did not mix it and he had gallons of it.
Deemz johnniespring said: are there a lot of pink cars where you live?Not that I see but, he says people ask for pink more often than you would think.

Deemz Looked at the guitar this morning. Cannot decide if I want to leave it glossy ( and it is super duper glossy now ) or dull it down with some 1200 sandpaper. I noticed the last time I was sanding it that it looked pretty cool with more of a flat look to it.

I noticed the last time I was sanding it that it looked pretty cool with more of a flat look to it.sanding it won't help cause over time, the oils from your skin and the constant rubbing will create a strange glossy effect. Your best bet would be to wet sand it with 1200-2000 grit and reshoot it with a matte, semi-gloss or flat clear poly.

It is just look so good, I don't want to mess it up.
Aug well, you don't want to wet sand wood....but, you wouldn't be...but, do be careful not to let any water come in contact with any bare wood, as this would cause swelling, warping, etc.
