This is to the best of my knowledge all the info you need to get the basic painting and refinishing done on your custom build or rebuild or parts-caster. Have fun and good luck.
-Paint stripping-
Chemicals: www.projectguitar.com/tut/chem.htm (Tutorial on stripping paint with what else paint stripper.)
Sand Paper: www.projectguitar.com/tut/sand.htm (Tutorial for Sand paper and elbow grease or a palm sander your call.)
Heat Gun: www.projectguitar.com/tut/burn.htm (Tutorial on stripping a guitars paint with heat)
(I've actaully done this one although at the time I didn't know that it was a real trick so I had used a lighter and a knife to peel the paint off.)

First you can get drips and runs if you don't know what the F**k your doing {GUILTY} Second it gets expencive. I spent 40bucks on spray paint and my paint job was terrible then again I was guilty of the first warning too.)
