Mandolin

The Rouge Mandolin a true $50 piece of crap. Originally I was going to strip the paint off of it and stain the wood a dark rosewood. After I got the factory finish off of it I realized the wood it was made out of was not good enough to stain. I then decided to have Eddie over at Roadrunner Paint & Body paint it for me. It was painted black and sprayed with silver flake. Before the final clear coat was applied I had Andy make me some graphics for it. Andy made some flames for the F hole and a logo of my head for the head stalk. It was then clear coated and finish.
