The ESP Guitar Company

Firstly, I'd like to say I love all the custom work I've seen around here and you've all inspired me to try something myself I've decided to do my old Dean ML first and if all goes well I'll move onto the more complicated Eclipse (set neck) I might even go buy an old cheap piece of crap to practice with I'm a screen printer and I have access to alot of what I think I need. I've found alot of info on the net, (and even more contradictions) but I still have some questions First: what gauge sandpaper to use? would it be better to sand or use a paint stripper? I thought a stripper might do bad things to the wood and if there are any joins, thought it might eat at the glue. what gauge sandpaper to use? Second: What type/brand of primer? Third: What type/brand of paint would be best? I thought some paints may affect the sound. I heard an enamel can screw with the sound quit alot. I have a spray gun so If thats better than spray paint let me know Fourth: Repainting the logo on the headstock, would a vinyl cut sticker stencil be ok on a removable vinyl? Or is there a better way? and how long do I wait after painting to peel back the stencil? And if I do some kind of grahpic on the body (maybe camo or flag), vinyl stencil? Finally: Clear Coat? If someone could answer these questions or point me to a website with all the info it would be much appreciated Thanks
