Recommend me a paint for a refinishing job


Gonna be refinishing my green rg7620 into a blue one with white binding.

However I need to know what paint do you guys recommend? I went with rustoleum last time and thecolor seems to have faded a bit.

Don't paint a guitar with rustoleum....wood won't rust.
Any automotive paint will work just be sure to prep the body properly before painting.And please do your homework use the links provided or go to reranch.com.Ask people that do this for a living and you will end up with a nice refin job.

I actually started and am using Duplicolor Metallic Blue for the paint. I went with a white primer and it looks like the wood is flamed underneath.

Pics to come when I am finished.
