I'm picking up a classic vibe Duo Sonic project because I wanted a cheap yet still decent guitar that I'd be comfortable leaving in a dorm room. Described by the seller as "the saddest duo sonic in the world," it looks like it went through a couple bad refin jobs, and halfway through the last attempt they just gave up:
I'm thinking a spray paint refinish, maybe plus sharpie art in Dirge style or a text pattern like those Supreme "fuck" jackets. I found some white primer & spray paint in my basement that I think will work nicely. It's a gloss enamel, which seems to be the opposite of what every rattle can guide says I should use, but I tested it on some scrap wood and it seems fine after sitting outside for day. Anyone ever done an enamel spray job?
I'm a little tempted to leave it as is to make it as unappealing and theft-proof as possible, but then it might just look like the lamest relic job ever.
you gotta leave it like that dude whats the metal chunks in the bare wood or is it an optical illusion maybe its paint flecks its so awesome it reminds me of underneath a leaking window you know that like one foot piece ofplaster wall all different yellow rings of water stain
Not sure what the spots are, I took it as a partial trade on my Timmy today so I won't actually have it until next week. I think what happened is that there was a top layer of metallic gold paint (you can kinda see it still intact on the horns and the bottom body edge in that pic), it took a few dents, and then those dents were deeper than the last sanding attempt.
