My Artwork : Re-modelling my Guitar Guitar : Pluto Ovation N
Base coat : White Lacquer
Front Body : Custom Paintjob.
Time : 36 Work hours
Approximate cost : Rs 1500
The base coat has been done by the repair shop. The white Lacquer has been spray painted on the guitar.
Rest of the work is going to be done by me. The process is starting today 4th Feb 2010.
The custom work to be done is as shown in the rendered image.
The rosette in the middle ( the piece around the hole) is also under way. Will be finished in Black and copper.
The first set of wings on the upper part of the body will be finished next. Note : As only acrylic colours are being used, optimum drying will be undertaken in order to avoid unnecessary smudge.
The build is one of a kind, hence airbrushing (commonly called spray painting is not being done.)
After the drying up of colour, the next set of wings on the bottom half will be completed, along with the bridge, which will also sport the same colour as the rosette.
The rose in between the set of lower wings will be done next. This is going to be tricky as this part will have other colours except black.
Once the three designs are completed, the whole guitar will be dried for 6 hours. This needs to be done, in order to ensure that no portion of the colour is left damp.
Streaks of gold and copper colour will be added on the edges of the wings, once the paint dries up completely.
Lastly I will add my signature, as shown in the rendered image and the build will be complete.
Let the pics do the talking now. Will keep on updating till finished.
Please let me know what you think. I would really appreciate criticism.
