Re: president silver color
Nice
I've done that many a time with the old finger painting. Red's the worst as it looks like you've been wearing nail polish if you don't get it off with a bit of thinners..or if it's black, people might think you're a Goth lol.
I now use a Nitrile/Latex glove on my 'holding hand'. Always throw them away afterwards though as the dried paint can flake off all over stuff if it's reused later on.

Re: president silver color
I found the silver paint they do in pound land is also a very good match for president. Moondust silver is metallic colour whereas the president colour is Matt finish

Re: president silver color

Hi Slamjam, Interested in how that turned out for you, the Pic seems to be goneslamjam wrote:

I have a nice Silver Jackson, front of face is very good but some very slight wear on the corner edges on top and sides. So I would mask the front and respray the rest after a lite rub down.
Did you lacquer it when finished?
love to see some pics if you can

Re: president silver color
I've just re-read my post and realised what a turkey I am ! It would have been a good idea if you were painting the black plastic inlay as wellcb4ever104 wrote:I'd do the +10khz mod on it and mark it as such on the BRITE/DIM switch inlay . Just my 10c

Re: president silver color
That's it I've made my mind up after seeing what you've done, I'll just have to get a new decal from Ray.
At least I only need one as my other Grant I have had no front when I bought it so I fitted a Cobra front and channel switch.
The chance of finding a good front are about zero.
