Reflection Guitar done with metal dyes
I have notice these on the internet and wondered how they got the colors. Ordered a starter pack of metal dyes from Steel F/X and cutout some Reflection Guitars and tried the dyes out and they work great. Takes a very little amount. I finished with a two part clear gloss automotive clear coat, I mounted them on a backboard made up of old fence boards glued to a 7/16 piece of OSD decking board.
