Interesting article on rattle-can burst refins from Stew Mac

Post by RumorsOFsurF » Sun Feb 10, 2008 2:43 pm

Check this out...It's an article on how to do a sunburst with aerosol cans.

I love these Stewart Mac "Trade Secrets" articles.  They email them to me all the time.  Very interesting stuff....

Sweet . . . makes it look easy.  I'd be scared to death to do a 'burst.

Me too!  It would be cool to do an accurate 60's style 'burst, though. :?

That's a cool article and it's great that StewMac is selling the burst aerosols now...but...am I the only one that thinks those two Strat "burst" examples at the top of the article look like hell?

No, those are shit.   :k

The one he's playing at the bottom looks really good, though.  Even though it's only 2 tone 'burst, it looks very nice.  I just prefer 3-tone.

He could do it by boat i suppose. But you'd have to wait forever.

Wow.....Stew-Mac is selling nitro in aerosol cans? I've got to check this out!

I would love to try and do a 3-color sunburst project someday.
