What about making some decals? Might be a whole lot easier and nicer looking to boot. You can make artwork on the computer, then print it out onto blank decal paper. Prep the plastic, apply the decals to the pickguard and then clearcoat it a couple times with an airbrush to seal the whole thing. If you are good with the airbrush, then you could work in some shading or highlights around the decals to make 'em stand out a bit more.

no, he said use the glue and wd-40 to make a STENCIL, and then I guess spray paint or air bruch over the stencil to make his own image..
