I am painting my WHITE RG to a nice Black color.... JET BLACK to be exact.... What are some things I should do before starting? What kinda of paint should I use? and What kind of clear coat do I use??

Thanks,
MarkY

Why dont you just BUY a black RG? I mean jeez at least 50% of them out there must be black. You know how many WHITE RG's I've seen? Besides the RG7621, maybe 2. i dunno maybe you just dont want a white guitar, in which case go ahead with the deal. i have a white AX and a black RG and I love both. im going to be getting another RG and painting it aqua light light blue. its gonna be COOL

p.s- i dont know much about painting i did kind of a crappy job on mine so im not gonna give advice because it will probably be bad.

I'm the same as Madwell. I tried painting a guitar then tried teh BSB thing and both were horrible. Id leave as is.

Or, you could forget about painting the body and trade straight up for a black RG7620 body. *I know there's got to be a person with a black body who would gladly trade for a white one.

I dont think he mentioned it being a 7620. i could be wrong but he just said it was an RG. and knowing how rare the white 7620's are I doubt it is one.

if it was a 7620 I bet he could find 20 different people in 5 seconds who would LOVE to switch their black body with a white. i know i would...if it was a 7x21...
