well, i had a dodgy old 'Rally' les paul body, with a fairly decent LFR trem. It was okay but i hated the colour and the pickups sounded dead. I sanded off all the horrible metallic blue paint and coated it in primer. I scratched a few of the primer coats to give a like, denty raised part effect, which looks really cool now its paint. here are a few pics i took while the clearcoat was drying (it slipped my mind to take pics after sanding and priming :thwap:
anyway, here goes...
well, this picture shows the colour it used to be (the horrible blue one with the stickers on it)

Heres a few shots of the clearcoated finished paintjob, nicely roughed up and coated over and over (used extra course sandpaper to get the deep scratches) over time, theres going to be more colours, and a seymour duncan invader or something simelar in the bridge, im leaving the neck position empty. its a franken-paul.
