More adventures in colour mixing. This time I think I've got it.

Well, something I'm happy with anyway.
Decided to play around with the other colours for future reference.

I particularly like the yellow and the orange.
The neck joint was a bit sloppy, so I glued in some veneers to each side to tighten it up a bit.

Yeah, you could say that worked.

Passes the old Ormsby test. Snug as a bug.
Colour looks good, was that red with some blue?

I love the orange too. Veneers work a treat
Red looks pretty good man, what was your plans for clear coats?
The colour looks great Pablo! Kind of a wine red. Will look great on the EX-1
nice colour palette Pabs.
Looks like you nailed the deep red wine colour you are after !
Think I might have to order one of these dye sets, the amount of colours you can mix are almost endless.
Love that dark green would love to try that on a flame maple LP
Thanks fellas. Enjoying the hell out of this build.
@Andrew, Red with a bit of blue and a couple of drops of black. My recipe is written on the side there.
@Bargeloobs, Not 100% sure yet. Tru oil or acrylic. With the weather the way it is at the moment, tru oil might be the less frustrating option.
@Wokka, not a huge investment, I'm having tons of fun mixing and experimenting. :)
Looking good pabs, that Orange is rather nice isn't it. I think these stain kits would be rather handy indeed!
I think I might have talked Wokks into trying out some nitro, as I said to him, 3 days to lay down clear coats and I'm done. Obviously the nitro will still take weeks to cure properly but I can pick it up and handle it normally without fear of destroying the finish. It's just so easy this time of year, not to mention the satin looks fricken amazing.Quote:
