Electric Paint
how to paint electric guitar hardware?
I wanna paint my old fender strat with gold hardware. If you are wondering what hardware is, look at a pic of a regular strat and I want to take anything chrome and the pickups and paint them a shiny gold. If you know how to do this or know a place in California near Modesto that does it let me know. Thanks
Seriously? Forget it. The metal parts/hardware is chrome or nickel plated steel. This means there is no paint which will stick – no matter what solvent it is based on. Spray paint all you want – it will peel off very quickly … if you get it to stick at all. Feel free to waste your time and money if you don’t believe me 
The metal finishes is never painted or sprayed on. It is applied by a process called electroplating.
Your easiest and cheapest alternative is to buy parts which have been gold plated to begin with. The cost of gold plating hardware which has already been plated in other finishes will run you more than you probably want to know – likely more than the cost of a new guitar…
