Damn, the black and tortoise shell does look great.
FWIW I kinda liked the incredible hulk look you had going.
Are you using a spray gun or rattle cans? It can be a lot easier to get a good lay down with a gun, which in turn means you'll be able to cut it back further and get a real mirror-like finish.
Hey SM, yeah the green was good, but after looking at it for a week or so I just couldn't go through with it.
I don't have a compressor at my house, so rattle cans. But good quality ones.

Hey Pabs, the black and tortoise shell will look great. And it will have a P90 so will sound great too.
Still achievable if you are patient getting lots of layers down. I'm hoping to use rattle cans on mine if I can find the colour I want - just to avoid the messing around and clean up with the gun. I may end having to get the paint place to make me up a batch.Originally Posted by pablopepper
Paint has gone on a treat. Hard to show in a photo, but it's dead flat and without flaw. If the clear goes on as well I'll be super chuffed.
Neck is starting to gloss up nicely.
