I've owned this guitar since 2002 and as you can see it has had some real abuse. I was very young when I first got this guitar so naturally I never handled it with care or maintained it in anyway shape or form. I've decided for nostalgias sake to strip the thing completely and rebuild with new hardware and a new paint job.

I'm currently awaiting delivery of a heat gun to help with the removal of the paint but I'm stumped as to which paint to buy once this is done. I'm aware I'll need a primer and acrylic poly paints but I'm unsure which brands would be good for this particular type of job. Is there any that anybody could recommend?

I will also be sinking an original floyd rose 7 trem in here as it's a direct swap out for the original lo-trs which honestly resembles a bag of smashed arseholes these days, along with some new pups so I will undoubtedly need further advice once that time comes.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance DBV https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/ibanez-rg7420-project/#post-46663
