Is this a dye?

[CD]

I know it's a crappy pic, but can you guys tell if this is a purple dye or just worn paint?

Second the worn paint vote.

Worn nasty purple poly

Looks like Barny Puke Purple Transparent,. plus wear... probably intentional wear at that (as opposed to coincidental wear).

 

[CD]

Yeah the wear on the outside of the upper horn is a telltale sign of intentional relic'ing. I'd like to do a green finish similar to this other than the relic'ing part and was curious if it would end up looking like this (dyed).

 

[jackthehack]

You'd have a hard time getting any kind of dye looking opaque like that, or is the question about how to artificially "wear" the finish?

 

[tfcreative]

Purple paint followed by distressing. Not sure why on either.

 

[CD]

I wasn't really curious about the wear, but just if that could be a dye job with the finishing looking so opaque. After looking at it and reading your comments guys, I think it is paint just artificially worn down.

Lame.  Isn't the whole point of "relicing" to produce a somewhat realistic or non-uniform effect of wearing?  But then again, I'm not really into the whole intentional relicing thing myself....or barney purple for that matter...

 

[jackthehack]

If you like that, I think you can get a DaisyRock in that color...

 

[CD]

I'd rather have the pink Hello Kitty guitar.
