Guitar Painters (antigua)

[dniederkorn]

I am looking to get my project tele painted antigua. My budget is 100ish dollars anyone know of any good painters in this range

Do you mean someone to disassemble, strip, sand, paint, airbrush, varnish and reassemble your guitar in the antigua style?

You may be very optimistic at $100, but good luck!

Reranch doesn't have a finish product expressly for it so I'm out of DIY ideas. I gather that Anitguas are more of a pain to shoot than most sunbursts because the colors are solid and aren't supposed to blend like in a traditional burst. So doesn't sound like a first time DIY and probably a few hundred to pay someone to shoot.

If you have an available place to do the finishing, I'd look at the available Reranch colors and pick a winner and shoot it yourself. There stuff is expensive, but they have good classic guitar colors and great how-to info.

I'm guessing you want later antigua? Early (late 60s) antigua was basically black to white sunburst.
there were increasing amounts of green added and it ended up being a sort of army-ish green to cream middle by the late 70s
