My friend owns a automotive body shop we did a trade years ago I had a Fender P bass some one had sanded off the finish
Steve did a seal coat base coat color cote clear cote perfect match Ice Blue Metallic I gifted the P bass to my bass player
so we had matching guitar colors on stage. If I was to paint a guitar it would be a color shift.

I was going to do a candy apple red finish on one of my Warmoth builds, but after researching and finding out how difficult it is to pull off I changed my mind..

Ok, you guys are way off, sorry, it's my fault. I should have posted this to begin with, but I was a little buzzed and didn't know how to say it then, I was just excited about getting the motivation to do something. I've had time to think about it more and now I think this might explain what I want to do a little better.
Watching this vid is where I actually got the inspiration to do something with this guitar.
Now, I'm not going to do anything like that, it's is hideous for several reasons. But think "rat rod" for a guitar, that's where my head is for this.
Now I'm wondering how hard it would be to pull off a surface rust look on wood.

Not really, I have a few ideas, but none I can elaborate on yet. I think I might like to incorporate "DirtySteve" in there somewhere.
Kinda along the lines of some of the old Sparrow Rad Rod guitars? But with your own imagination….?Ok, you guys are way off, sorry, it's my fault.

If I do it like I'm talking about now it might be cool to do just a bridge pickup with a volume and tone and leave the neck pickup slot empty, Malcomb Young style, and maybe plug any unused holes with bullet casings like I did before on this guitar.

Too clean. I want it to look like it's been dug out the trash or been left to weather in an old barn for 50 years.

I thought I had kept the original PCB wiring harness this guitar came with, but I can't find it so I'm looking to get another one. One thing about this guitar is it's cursed, I've rewired it at least 5 times that I can remember and something always fails. I just want to put the PCB harness back. Hoping someone has one they don't need because I can't find one that isn't already sold. 
WTB: LP PCB wiring harness
Has anybody here replaced their PCB wiring harness in an LP and want to sell it? I'm looking for the complete wiring harness with switch and jack included.
