TELE pickguard project

[tujoz]

Hi peeps
just to share with you how I DIY my pickguard motif on my tele. This is a very cheap project but I'm really satisfied with the outcome.

Trade a squire tele with a fellow softie with a perloid pickguard

Don't relly like the perloid so off it goes with my X-acto knife

 

[tujoz]

next prepare a template with a thin plastic sheet

i prepared a few shapes as i'm going for the camo motifs
bought some mini paint spray from daiso ($2 each:mrgreen

Preparation
Clean the pickguard with soap n water to remove oil/dust
give it a good wipe of spirit
and your good to go

 

[tujoz]

First coat
Ivory colour

Second Coat
Marine Blue

Third/fourth coat
Sky blue and Black

 

[tujoz]

Ok wait for the paint to dry then a clear coat to finish it off
Here it is
feel free to comment

Bro dremel is sold at Homefix outlet second floor Imm but the range not as much as Homefix @ Marina outlet.
Price range $250++

Cheaper "dremel" will be carefour housebrand ard $30+

250, price has gone up a lot? the 30 one can use?
i like the way u customize your own tools, very creative..

how abt this one? is it a good buy or should i go for other models instead?

Get the 400 series. Better. But more expensive. Can check out hardwarezone forums, under case modding, and see if anyone selling.
