I guess it's been just luck so far. Enamels seem to work fine. One key factor seems to be the paint dilution. If it's too thick, the paint will sink; if its too thin, it wont cover properly. Here's another try. This one has purple, white, black and silver grey.

Here's the same body on a side view. BTW, the laquer is a metallic blue color. Should turn out nice once I clear coat it.

Thanks for the input. I prepared a concentrate solution and applied some drops in some small stains to check. After letting it dry for about 15 minutes, the stains were gone.

Good day everyone. I got an Epiphone SST without the jack connector. There are too many wires: red, white, black, yellow and a shielding. It may be because the on board eq has a switch to use headphones. I suppose it uses a six lug stereo jack. Does anyone knows the color code for this guitar? All r...
