Should come up nice there
Must be very exciting!
Hey Pest, heard there was a flood of money on you finishing the guitar from 500-1, to 499-1!
At last, some colour appeareth on the Axe! will be following progress with interest.
Alright, so I went into the garage this morning and I saw that the cap is showing up a bit through the Dark Onyx :D !!!
But there are a few areas where it needs some touching up i.e. I might have been a bit too hard in some places, but I can see the blue tint coming up now, which I actually like!
I did the burst by using a bit of residual Dark Onyx in the lid after I gave it a little clean with the turps, and poured in the Goldenrod, which looks better than before!!!
I will start working on the sides today, then the back tomorrow!!!
EDIT: The DO looks like it should now, it's now blue-black, it looked like BMW last night!!!
Yep!!! Very exciting even though there is a fair amount of light and dark patches, i will go back to the top after the sides and back are finished!Quote:

Got a coat done on the back and sides last night, I did the Dark Onyx first, so when I cleaned it with the turps, there was a bit left, and that made the Goldenrod look rich in gold, which to me looked so much better than the GR itself!!! I accidentally forgot to steel wool the coat on the top to make the GR darker, so it now looks like I spilled something on it, I will probably fix it up today, pics up this arvo!!!
Here's some pics after I let the first coat cure for 2-3 days!!!!
Here's the back, the patches look worse than they really are, they look like a faded finish in the flesh, faded/vintage/aged is now what I'm going for!!!

Callum, I do like that you've gone for the colours of the West Coast Eagles, makes your guitar a winner before it's even finished. I also love that you've gone for something really different, individual and personal. I have to say it does look a bit messy, but I'm sure you can clean it up as you apply (and sand back) more coats.
