| Anyone have any recommendations on what paint to use for the 5120 clear pickguard? I want to paint it gold and the only paint I can find in my neck of the woods is rustoleum which is for metal objects. Thanks! | |

| Try model car paint, just try it on a little test patch first, and do it from behind so it doesn't scratch off. | |

| Cool, I'll give it a shot. There's a hobby store not to far from me. | |

| Pete, Thanks for the suggestion. I went to a local hobby store and found a great shade of gold for the pick guard. I just put a second coat on it and so far it looks great. I can't wait to get it back on the guitar. Steve | |

| For future reference for anyone else, Krylon Brushed Metallic Satin spraypaint works well too. I cut a new plastic pickguard for my agile 820 and used this paint in "caramel latte" for a gretschy look. Turned out nicely. Unfortunately, the flash makes it look a little less gold than it really is. Had I not found this, model paint was my next choice! | |
