finished the uke.
im pretty pleased with the results, but i think i couldve done a much better job with the clearcoat. i got my fingerprints in them cuz i thought it was dry. im thinking of doing more for my family. its a really fun project.

that looks pretty sweet! nice job!

 

[lovemissheather]

that turned out awesome!!!
right on!!!



i have the urge to paint my kala kiwi. a cheap uke i can strip the paint off of and make my own... hmmmmmmmmmm


to do it?
or not to do it...

that... is the question.

 

[NotoriousMOK]

Absolutely a 'do it'! If you mess it up REAL bad, you get to buy another uke -- its a win win

When I first saw it, I cringed. Now that it's done, it looks great. What kind of finish did you use? glossy spray on?

Fun uke!

Good job.

Looks like a fun project to try.

Thanks for the pictures and the comments on the process! I would also be interested in knowing the brand/type of clearcoat you used.

 

[Mobben]

It looks really good.. I hope your girlfriend likes it

I thought about doing this with "sticky-backed-plastic" - Fablon

"If you want to add some graphics without doing an entire paint job, consider water-slide decals."

Where are those available? Can you get the clear base and print your own?

Inquiring minds want to know!

 

[ukebrudder]

I wonder if that will change the sound of it, but then again its just a Hilo...

 

[fherieb]

snowcooley- i used a brand called triple thick, got it at Michaels.
