Wicked looking bass, DMartin! How did you get the crackle effect on the stripes?

Sweet SG bass Dmartin.
@ Pabs he posted it on FB. The stripe paint was quick drying and reacted with the white paint

Cheers Thank you. The cracking is an unexpected finish. I think it was a reaction between a 'quick drying' matt black paint and the gloss white finish. The intent was to have solid matt black stripes not the cracking effect. I think it turned out ok (thankfully).
Looks great. A happy little accident!

I love the crackling effect! Looks awesome and it makes it very unique!
The best part is that you would have struggled to achieve that effect if you wanted to... :-)
Great job

Definitely a great finish effect. Unexpected results are sometimes the best as it adds something that creative thinking initially doesn't!
All 3 entries looking like tough competitors
