Well not to be a wet blanket but I wouldnt recommend painting anything on the rock band instruments because if they mess up (and they have a reputation of doing that) you have to send your guitar back and i dont know if that would void the warranty. I sent back my guitar about 2 months ago and believe me I was glad i didnt paint anything on it, I was about to paint a joker smile on it like 2 days before!!! Just a warning but hey hope you let me see a pic if you do decide to paint it
