So, i’ve painted guitars before, but I curious more about finishes.

I want to paint my guitar with certain colors, i found them only in satin or gloss, if i were to use lacquer with this would that cause the paint to crack? Should i use flat colors only? I see people using Krylon mostly, and that usually has gloss or satin in it, is that ok?

Samii asked:


So, on my last guitar hero guitar I drew on it with permanent marker. I really liked it, but over time it wore off. The guitar I did that to is dieing out, so I plan to buy a new one and I want to draw something new on it. Is there anything I can put on the guitar to keep it from wearing off? Like some sort of sealant that wouldn’t ruin the guitar?

Thanks for anyone who helps.

It’s of Mexican man playing the guitar but his face is hidden behind his sombrero. If you know Diego Rivera’s style, it looks like that but I cannot find it anywhere.
