Lets say, 1 primer, 2 or 3 coats of spray body filler, 2 coats of base coat, 3 or 4 of blue pearl, and 10 -15 top coats of clear. As i said im in no hurry to finish it as i have a mim fender Strat Hss to practice on...
Will write down the final amount of coats and what type of paints i use.
Nice plans Nitro! I love my lake placid blue ST-1, still play it everyday You'll have to give us an ear taste of those SD's!

Hey guys check out one of my Bro in laws guitars.

hope i can post a link this way.....
Been messing around with some stain colour combos for when i buy my second guitar. Thought some of you might like to see some colour variations.
Im using feast watson universal 'proof tint", it can be thinned with water or turps. These are stains you can cheaply buy at any Aussie paint Place.
these were applied in multiple applications without waiting for it to dry between coats. Allow at least overnight to dry before using a sealer or clear.
Colours are written beside the sample.
nice sample stain tests Nitro, I never knew FW proof tint came in blue, green and rosewood ? I've used all the other colours you have used.
