I'm afraid it's such an ugly finish finding a solution to doing it diy it has never come up. There are plenty of guides to get rid of it though I imagine.

well, antigua pickguards are shitty, but my friend uses a silverburst LP and I want a dorky 70s finish to match it

check out reranch. they have a ton of forum threads and DIY guides to sunburst.


that finish is essentially just a two tone burst, so you should be able to find plenty of info there.

White body with gray burst. Then spray tinted clear over top and turn it all Antigua. I don't know where you can find gray nitro.
