Default repainting my guitar

I've had my ESP M-2 for about 6 years and it shows. I would like to either paint it black, white, silverstone (my S2K color) or something more custom. Anyone have any ideas? Thanx


heres the guitar as is (shut up about the stickers)

I've seen guitars with an electric blue metallic paint that I thought looked cool. You could paint the neck black too.

Silverstone or a darker metallic gray would look pretty sweet.

I'd say Silverstone. Go ahead and slap a Honda emblem on it too!

Let it alone. . . used guitars have character. . .

Either that, or get out the acrylics and get down to doing some detail work.

The custom job is a good idea.. or if you're really lazy and have no talent, you could always just take some markers to it like I did.. though I wouldn't have done it with a good guitar, this is just a junker charvel that I keep in a weird tuning
