I'm customizing my tele and this is my old pickguard so I though may as well make it look pretty

i started with an ordinary white pickguard then painted black acryllic paint over. waited for it to dry then scraped away a pattern... i didnt seal it in but i'm guessing you can buy some paint sealer or something to make sure it doesn't all come off!

i don't know, you could try! but I'm not sure it'll come off as easy for putting the design on...

well i had a plain white pickguard and painted it black with acrylic paint. I wanted to leave it black but smudged it slightly... then using a screw driver head i waited till the paint had dried then scraped away in swirly shapes till it made a nice pattern with the original white pickguard underneath. :)
