Do luthiers paint guitars?
most of the time, a complete repaint is somewhere in the ballpark of $350+ for solid colors. It’s a very time intensive process (removing all hardware and electronics, masking, sanding down, priming, painting, clear coating and polishing- as well as all the sanding and bufffing in between that gives you a nice finish).
What kind of paint do you use to paint a guitar?
Acrylic paint is often used to paint guitars, especially for decorative purposes, such as designs or images. Guitar paints are usually made from polyester, polyurethane, and nitrocellulose, which continue to cure over time, making them durable and enhancing the sound of the instrument.
How do you seal acrylic paint on a guitar?
Rather than use a brush-on varnish, you should try spraying the painted area with a spray varnish from an art supply store, such as Lascaux UV Protect, which is an archival spray designed to protect many art media, including acrylics. You could also use Krylon Kamar Varnish or Golden Archival Spray Varnish.
