some photographic updates:
i skipped some photos of the primer filler but that's not that exciting we all know what that looks like, nothing interesting. so here is some photos with the black on it and it all taped up, the white should go over it tomorrow morning :)
EDIT: M computer wont upload the photos for some reason, does anyone know why this is happening, is it to do with an update on the website or something? is there another way to do this?
Kurt, try and resize the photos to about 100kb they should upload ok
thanks woks, worked aa treat :)
looking very nice Kurt,
looks like with the tape you have done white faux binding ?
should look wicked
looking good Kurt, that is the neatest taping I've seen!
Looks glow in the dark :D
@nick i thought the same thing when i saw taping her up, might do a glow in the dark paint on another build!
@Stan, Thanks mate, it took a little while to tape up but i have a severe case of OCD so it was going to be the neasest taping in the world or no taping at all xD
@Woks, fill me in, what on earth is white faux binding? haha, should look very nice indeed though :)
just a quick update, colour went on yesterday so here is the main colour of it :)
tape came off this morning and im about to start clear coating the entire thing, should look sweet, pictures up within a few days hopefully.
UPDATE TIME 😁
The tape came off, clear coat went on and the clear coat reacted 😔 I could have cried, I've sanded the paint back on this thing way too many times! So naturally I started to sand back again, only to realise that as I sanded away the reacted clear, the paint looked really good again!
So i came to the conclusion that when I put the clear coat on, it was too cold in temperature. The clear reacted with this cold and turned it cloudy. The lesson I learned, make sure it's a fairly warm day to put clear or any sort of paint on! Luckily for me, the cloudy clear didn't soft through the paint and just reacted on top, allowing it to be sanded away.
So I redid the clear on a warmer day! WOTHOUT having to sand back the colour.. And I am so happy with it! Stoked!! It's currently been hanging since Sunday curing.
My new concern is the wiring. The way that these websites are designed these guitars or 'suggested' I should say, is 2 volume, 2 tone. But I'm not a big fan of 2 volume, is there another way I can do this by using 1 volume, 2 tones, and possibly something else? I'm no wiring expert, so all options and opinions will be greatly considered!
Cheers,
Kurt 😊
I think the clear reacted with the adhesive from the tape Kurt, you need to lightly sand it after removing the tape to get it down to just paint.
