    Hello all,
    Does anyone know where I can get the front of the body of a Les Paul copy painted nitro white locally (Portland), for a fair/cheapish price?

    I'm trying to create a replica of Colin Hendra's guitar from the band Wytch Hazel. I'm not gonna add a permanently painted cross. I'd appreciate any recommendations. Thank you!

    You might ask @SharpeScooterShooter...he has a studio and would probably know. If you strip the hardware and mask off the neck and binding you might get a body shop or cabinet shop to spray it cheap.

    I noticed your occupation "gleaming the cubicle". That's hilarious and awesome! I loved Gleaming the Cube movie when I was a kid.

    Congrats! You are the first person to ever comment on that :)

    It was also called in some markets "A Brother's Justice" and "Skate or Die!"

    The old skate movies are great. Some of the best days of my life, skateboarding with friends all day in my early teens.

    Are those pics of the exact guitar or similar to? The key is the current color. Do you have any pics of the actual guitar? I could send them and get. Better quote?
