work help: What should i use to decorate my guitar with? - Help.com

paint the whole guitar yellow or black and then put a bright red lightning bolt on it.

Is it a real crummy guitar or something?

Errr, uh, I mean, wouldn’t you want to leave the wood? (Better for the sound, too …)

How about Press on Sparkles?

astroturf!

I know: “flocking” :)

Some people want there guitar to be an extension of their persona. Putting a wig at the head, your strap is a bandoleer, your fav colors (you can order pieces in certain designs), lot of things you can do, just be creative and more importantly your self.

duplicolor makes this cool blue glow in the dark paint that lasts for three hours. I’ve used it a bit before but I always thought it would be cool to paint a guitar just classic alpine white, then paint on a bunch on anarchist and satanic symbols and writings. That way when the lights go out your guitar has a whole new personality.

They also have chrome for Zudo, and gold which would be crazy.

I’ve used their colorshifting paint on my sg, turned out pretty cool!!!

Here are some other cool ideas:
Paint Splatter
Rusted Metal
( you can buy rust agents at home depot)
mirror
net pattern (paint over fishnet stockings)
burn the top with blow torch

Here are some cool sites for inspiration:

I have alot more but there on my other comp, shoot me a message if your interested.

Good luck man, show us a pic when you finish it!!!
Also you might want to cleacoat it, any spray on laquer will do the trick. Just keep the coats light and put on anywhere from 5-20 coats depending on how much protection you want and if you want more depth or not…

or just paint it throw a bunch of crazy stickers on it, then trash the body so it looks like its been gigged through vietnam.

or paint and marbles

or use duplicolor nite lights (super reflective when light hits it, would be cool for show guitar)

Ok I think I’m out of ideas

Hope that helped
