If you got a guitar with light scratches , that don't go down to the color, can you acheive good results by wet sanding followed by a thinned down flow coat to blend into the existing
lacquer?

A good primer sealer/filler and some 600 grit paper for the prep with compressed air to stop the build up on the paper. Tack rag before painting. 2 light coats, 1/2 hr between coats than 1 a little heavier. 24 hrs to dry than wet sand with 800 grit. Keep the paper damp with a spray bottle. do not soak. finish with 2 coats of clear and if you need to wet sand and buff, use 3 clear. Wait 72 hrs. Wet sand on top of old towels to absorb the water runoff. buff and assemble. 8)

I guess Cresent Bronze is the source for the metallic base colors . I guess we would be looking at a silver base. Do you have any idea what to use over the top?

the one constant thing back in the 60s is that the Japanese manufactures would try to out do one another. At the present time, there is no definitive color chart for the Guyatone brand that I am aware of and to say the colors used by Teisco are the same would be a lie... Even if you go with a color you see on a guitar posted on a web page, there could be variations to the hue from one camera to another and lighting has a lot to do with color clarity. The aged white is the best choice but the LT Blue Metallic will look so cool as long as the body repair and prep is done properly. Just keep in mind that the neck was always natural in color when the body was painted in a solid color. It's your Axe! Make it the way you want! 8)

Because of the body condition and since the pickguards and electronics obscure most of the body anyways I think a solid color is the way to go. I thnk a lite metallic blue would be great, but I don't want to fool with the bronzing powders. A slightly yellowed white might go good with all the white plastics on the guitar. Do you know if the Guyatone palatte of colors similar to Teicscos ?

Metallic colors such as lite blue, red, and gold were around then as well. If it is a total restoration, sunburst is the way to go. You will need to chem/strip the body making sure you do not sand off the top veneer , redo the filler around the sides to hide the laminations, and have a professional airbrush the sunburst. Clear the body with 3 coats to protect it I hope this is helpful. I will be posting more pix of the guitars on my page from time to time. Take care...8)

From the photos it appears she is mostly there. I am planning a complete paint restoration. Instead of the usual sunburst scheme, I would like to do a historical accurate solid color. Any ideas from the forum members? Also as you can see she has only 2 mismatched pickups,so I am also looking for ideas on what might be the best vintage pickups to drop in this puppy. As far the pickups are concerned , I am more concerned with the sound (blues vibe)as opposed to be completely historically accurate.
Any of your thoughts would be greatly appreciated
