How to custom paint an incredible electric guitar with acrylic paint

[@Sevans1973]

Love the fact that you talked about clear coating in depth. This has caught me out before in the past too. Never rush the final steps.

[@FieldeyTV]

I know right... I still get nervous before clear coating.

sorry to be so offtopic but does anyone know a tool to get back into an Instagram account?? I somehow forgot my password. I would love any tips you can give me

@Raymond Cyrus Instablaster =)

[@raymondcyrus8177]

@Alexander Konnor i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.

[@raymondcyrus8177]

@Alexander Konnor It worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thank you so much you saved my ass :D

[@raymondcarson9084]

great work as usual. I have found that in my artwork if i sand the clear in between coats, the finish turns out amazing , specially after you get a good buff in the end. Just a tip. really love the work Fieldey

[@andresmendez6870]

I've been looking for a tutorial on this for a really long time, I'm very happy I found your channel. Awesome work! :)

[@haydenmerritt3191]

this is the best 1 ive found on youtube, so good

[@danielhoehne1823]

Have been a guitar player my entire life but couldn't draw a stickman to save my life. Have seen many many custom painted guitars in my life, this is one of the absolute most creative I have ever seen. Simply Beautiful. Thank you for sharing

[@kraigskell]

I'm surprised and impressed you were able to do the clear coat while the guitar was resting on a flat surface and not hanging it!

[@aliierxx1644]

Ive been looking for tutorials on how to paint an electric and i thank you for going so in depth!

[@charlieford5688]

This is beautiful ! Looking at doing something like this as a gift for someone

[@terrycampbell141]

love the lucy look!!!!!

[@0finale]

This is an amazing video. Such attention to detail!

[@johanswanepoelswanies7483]

Fieldey legend in the mastery of artistry of all things rad and cool. 🤘🏻

[@johnmason4430]

Love this just wow.and thank christ you live in Australia. So many artist on you tube. I to live in Australia and i find it refreshing to watch a very talented artist such as yourself . Keep up the amazing artwork.

[@FieldeyTV]

Thank you so much!

[@Will008]

Absolutely incredible. I would love some artwork done on my guitar.

[@BlaudezGuitars]

This is awesome ! You are right about the clear coat, this can became a nightmare when not cure properly.

[@jakescorpion1]

Great video. I never would have thought to use gesso

[@_clauscarstensen]

I am still pondering what kind of and what way of paintjob I will do on the Olympic White Squier Strat I bought for a bargain. You gave me some very inspirational ideas with this video. Thank You!

[@ryanbatura1791]

Truly fantastic work!

[@jeroen9637]

Love it. I’m going to do this with my old strat. Thanks for posting :)

[@FieldeyTV]

Good luck!

[@matthewstewart3387]

I love this skull paint job you did on guitar.looks awesome.

[@RogerCOOKSON]

Amazing artwork.

[@zedmobil1647]

What an awesome build

[@anonimodt420]

Que increíble eres, te sigo hace años en tu canal, espero te siga yendo increible en todo.

[@Ibaneddie76]

Looks really cool!

[@victorpascali5983]

Thank you so much. I recently bought a Black Charvel Pro Mod So Cal Tele Style guitar and Im researching painting a STAR TREK theme on it and this has been very informative let alone, inspirational. Beautiful design and the P90 pickups are faves of mine too!!!!

[@mikal]

Hey, I noticed that you didn't mention sanding or polishing after you were done clear coating. Did you not do that part?

[@SOMBRATERRA.]

You're an amazing artist!

[@Alchemist_X]

Great video. I recently stained a bass using Transparent Red Oxide and a tiny bit of Green for Oil to thin it. Now I've seen this video I've been inspired to try something more creative with acrylics for my next build.

[@carlosaugustomuraca4405]

Ótimo trabalho! Seu estilo é único. Parabéns!

[@garrettb2057]

That's pretty badass. I've got an old BC Rich Mockingbird I'm looking to paint, I'm really wanting to put a mockingbird with an arrow or something of the sort. But I'll have to test my acrylics with the Wipe on poly I have (I bought it off a guitar supply store)

[@jakecivis7402]

Beautiful gorgeous exemplary just amazing art work.

[@KidsWithGuns1992]

I’m wanting to paint my acoustic guitar. It’s all sanded back and ready to be primed and all that good stuff. Is there any other kind of paint I’m able to use when painting? Or is acrylic the most resilient?

[@FieldeyTV]

Sorry for the late reply! I'd do a bit of research and use what you're comfortable painting with. Acrylic is the best for this style of art, but isn't necessarily the most resilient.

[@empreendendonaraca]

Ficou incrível 😊

[@TheRealManiacz]

love what you’re doing here. definitely helped me understand what i need and how to do it!

[@rayaymond7959]

Looks very good 👍

[@chatter7653]

Nice. Air brushing is another cool option for guitar body painting.

[@Elfstrack]

Loved it so smooth so professional 😊

[@Pratikmayekar4]

Amazing work.. I don't know how I stumbled upon this but I am glad I did.. Please do more cool guitar designs like these with maybe adding a pic guard to create a new dimension to explore... :) Thanks for sharing!

[@excalle]

This is sublime ! Incredible job paint, you truly killed it ! And thanks for the lot of information that you gave on the video, it'll be very helpful :)

[@hammerofgodminiatures]

Great job

[@CrushingAxes]

That's amazing! So cool! Looks great !!!

[@ErGoyoTV]

Came for the priming process for a guitar and I'm glad it is explained clearly. Now.. your art is awesome.. makes me wonder if I should get some art done on the guitar or stay boring with a flat ivory white. Thanks!

[@robinaanstey3734]

Cool!!!! you are so talented!!!

[@mikedegrazia]

Looking Amazing as always! Paint looks Awesome too!! :-D

[@natedoggschip]

Looks incredible!

[@4dmind]

You're right about clear coat curing - I just had one burn through during buffing because the underlying coats weren't properly cured. And when the art is custom, that is a serious setback. Tonight I have to strip the entire body, re-sand, Gesso again, sand again and then paint the entire piece again. But the good news is that I get to fix issues with the rendering of the art that I didn't like, so it has some plusses. But yes, I'm going back to a day of curing for each clear coat. Fantastic video!

[@FieldeyTV]

GAHHH! You poor thing! I hope the process went ok! It's from bitter experience that I'm now very cautious about clear coating and wet and dry sanding :(

[@vincent33195]

Beautiful! You make it look easy 😉

[@vinztattooerartguitars]

I like the design. Good job 👍🏻

[@shirleyseverns8255]

Beautiful 😍

[@jrn6449]

It looks absolutely fantastic. Envy your artist talent and drawing skills. Thanks for explaining in detail how you do the different steps, especially the coating. Great tutorial 🤘😊

[@hoagiesherlin7732]

Holy shit that looks awesome i wish i could paint like that

[@jigoujitoku7193]

Super cool

[@BetoAzamar]

Beautiful work

[@stevekobb3850]

Superb! Great painting AND teaching. Thank you.

[@williamwillis9723]

This was so amazing!!! Awesome looking guitar!

[@Guitarluvr717]

Great talent!

[@richthetrashpicker-upper5244]

I love the time lapse painting so cool thank you for showing us your talent

[@paulkielty3800]

Loved this.

[@bennalexzander]

I'm asking because of the movement of the original painting location of artwork. Cheers!

[@mebibyte9347]

Wow. Thank you so much

I admire your work! greetings from Mexico!

[@pinacava3647]

Wowzerz! This is beautiful artwork! And thank you for properly explaining the process as you went along! Fabulous outcome!💖

[@FieldeyTV]

Thank you!!

[@JesseMChihuahua-oc7oi]

Wow!

[@Nixeuss]

Hi and thanks and congratulations for this work and the video ! I was wondering if there is some way to "fade" the brush marks after painting ? is there a way to 'polish' them in order to have something very "flat" ? Btw, what is the "best quality brand" for acrylic paint ? Thanks :)

[@FieldeyTV]

Sorry for the late reply! If you tried to wet sand them to flatten them you would change the look of the painting - I'd use acrylic like Golden Acrylics flow range which is really runny and won't leave any high points

[@x-dah-t-er8779]

Thanks for sharing I liked the tutorial! Now when you clear coat spray it’s doifferent from the wet sanding technique, which is brush on!!! Ie; layer of gel medium, or midge podge, wetsand, dry repeat I still havn’t successful sheen with that but in da process!

[@FellDestroyedMusic]

Looks incredible! Thanks for the information! :)

[@LosTrazosdeFede]

Maravilloso trabajo, quedo espectacular. 👍👍👍 Muchas gracias por compartirlo.

[@veggiesaurus5834]

Looks amazing! Hoping to customise my acoustic, I assume it's the same process? Thanks for going into so much detail it really helps, I feel more confident to go ahead with my project now :)

[@FieldeyTV]

Yes! Same detail but maybe cross-reference with a couple more guitar painting tutorials

[@imlurkn5291]

Awesome

[@KellyWentzel]

This was great! Who is Jim? Does he have a how to assemble a guitar channel?

[@gilku4725]

Thats awesome... do the headstock too to make it look more awesome!

[@DuncanCustomAirbrush]

Turned out awesome!! Next time you could even take it to an auto body shop to spray some automotive clear coat. I use automotive urethane clear coat

[@FieldeyTV]

Oh that would be the perfect thing - I would've preferred a 2k clear for that super shiny wet look and durability, but it was beyond the scope of the project.

[@DuncanCustomAirbrush]

@@FieldeyTV They also make an automotive grade spray can clear that is a 2part with hardner (once you mix it you have to use it all) that has great gloss and protection. I LOVE your style btw, always a fan of your artwork!😉👍

[@dangerousemuse1]

Thank you sharing this video! What name brand of varnish do you recommend? Thank you!

[@octos_art]

AWESOME! i'm an artist trying to get into guitar but i got a really ugly brown electric guitar 😅 time to paint!

[@rocklandrevolution2139]

That's amazing! I want one!

[@derrickfyffe7269]

Hi Fieldey.. I like your art work.. I was especially interested in the guitar art. I have had this idea to do an acrylic pour on a guitar... I d9nt really know anything about that kind of thing, so I have been watching KZbin videos to try and get some direction... from best type of paint to use to best clear coat that preferably dries really hard. I would appreciate any tips you are able to afford me. Thank you in advance, and keep making great videos 😊

[@alessandrobecker1]

Aweeesome!

[@b.tee.2600]

Looks great!! But if you would water sand with 3000 grit it would take the texture from the brush strokes away and make tge surface smooth. Just some friendly advice, I promise I am only trying to help, you do an amazing job!!

[@GetHeavy11]

Very cool

[@tanaopu9162]

Thank you

[@andrewwhitehouse1878]

Subbed within the first few seconds 🤘🏻

[@marienacraig0393]

Love the art 😎

[@kidswitissues5718]

Love the guitar body artwork if your not familiar with painting it really does look real.🎸

[@heavymetalhalloween]

Nice work

[@markpaz3438]

thanks britta

[@Ejeiidyegegge]

Hey there! Is it possible to start the gesso without first removing the paint on the guitar? Thx

[@90s_futbal]

You're brave.. Dazzling. 😎👍

[@jakkspaghetti8250]

i love this work woooow

[@twintarbos]

looks sick, but is there any way to sand out brush strokes when doing this? I want to do something similar, but I want that glossy flat finish and I'm terrible at air brushing

[@barrylafratta6994]

very cool

[@helikoptarhelikoptar9237]

Damn its was good ❤️ सोलायमान आकाश

[@jayeshvijuda6132]

I am SO in Love with your art work Fieldey... It's very inspiring... I'm gonna try something like this...You got another Fan/ subscriber and Insta follower❤️

[@FieldeyTV]

Thank you so much 😀

[@bennalexzander]

Hey hey. How does the layering of the paints hold up to pick scratches?

[@jenniferhughes3742]

What type of clear spray would you use for a painting on a surboard for a wall decoration?

[@FieldeyTV]

Just an acrylic spray - depends on the paint you use, but test a small area with rustoleum 2k

[@jeckobandit69]

she's gorgeous!

[@bestvibes1589]

God damn that’s beautiful

[@Whitsel]

did i see you use a heat gun on the sped up part where you were applying the gesso?

[@micahwatz1148]

I like this two part clear coat called 2k clear. It has a hardener in it like a spray gun mix, so you can go heavy with like 3 coats. With this artwork with paint strokes. I would spray 4 coats, let it fully cure a couple days. Then scuff the clear with a scotch brite pad, do 3-4 more coats, level sand with 600 gritt. and work up the sand paper grits to 3000. Get heavy cut auto compound, then do a regular cut compound. Then do a polish. Great work tho. That design is awesome

[@joannecarroll5504]

Fabulous work as always, Fieldey. Love your attention to detail, right down to the zombie🧟‍♀️ chick drop sheet 😊

[@FieldeyTV]

Hahaha! Well, it's actually a very cool old shower curtain.

[@debasisdasvbsjddas4296]

Was you Use Oil Paint on Your Heater???

[@coffeemachtspass]

Total badass. If I were one third as talented at drawing, I’d have a go at it myself. Hmm. Dilemma.
