  • How to...? Demartini Blood and Skull...

    Hello, does anyone have the experience or know how in doing one of these? I just need to know how it was done; paint, thinner, etc... Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Wait a couple more weeks and you will be able to buy a brand new one. The new Charvel Demartinis should be out soon.

          There's a guy on Ebay that advertises those patterns. He's in the Boston area. If I can find the link, I'll post it here. I bought the Kamikazi paint masks and decals from him.
          Pretty good stuff.

            The guy on eBay is eacodesigns. I don't know if he has the "Swords" design though.

              He wanted the blood and skulls. Other than the skull, there's not really any design to it.

                Exactly. It's more like a paint "spill" than it is a graphic. That's why each one is a little different.

                    So does anybody know what the best paint would be to do the blood "spill"? I thought maybe someone here had done this graphic. Thanks

                      The paint would be the same makeup as the rest of the guitar. (whatever you plan on using). The factories mostly use acrylic urethanes and waterbase (airbrush colors, like Auto Air or Createx) over a urethane or polyester primer, them after the graphic is applied, a urethane clear coat (2 part) is applied to level the surface. The clear coat is then wet sanded and buffed.

                        I would think the REAL trick is getting the surface level, after you've dripped the red paint on,and allowed it to cure.

                            [/ QUOTE ] That's what I was thinking too. Getting it smooth with out sanding through would be the real trick.

                              Eacodesigns is me. I don't have the swords, but if someone has a good picture of it they can scan and e-mail to me, I'll make them a complete kit for free. I have a mad bomber kit, and I have the skull for the blood and skulls
