Hey guys I have this old body that I just dug up. I think it will look pretty sweet on my LSP, but there is no protective film that I can mark up laying out the grafix. Got any ideas? how about paint schemes? Keep in mind that I have never done a body b4.

This doesn't answer your question.
BUT!
There is always a but!

You can mark the body up with a sharpie and remove it very easily with nitro spray before you paint of course.
Also, you can wrap that sucker in plastic wrap.
Oh god watch this spelling, "celephane" ?????

Nice try Nitz... lol
CELLOPHANE
 
Yes it is NC. What about some easy layout ideas? or should I shoot all one color?
 
Flames are always pretty easy and fun to do. And still give it a custom look to it. And ya could always use parma masks if ya dont have the "Cellophane" stuff on top. There alot funner to paint where theres somethin on it, ya know? but yeah keep us posted. Id like to see it when its done
 
I've used a sharpie on the outside of a couple of bodies and wiped it right off with my fingers after cutting the mask. But I think a better idea would be to use a grease pencil to do the lay out work on the outside.
