@ joe i went to bunnings and checked out the Rustoleum and the 2k duramax there not the best products to paint a guitar, the 2k duramax clear the tin is only very small if you want to use a 2k clear try this its more what your looking for its 400g can should be enough to give you a couple of decent coats but ill warn you if you have not got a good technique with spaying you will run it

That's a nice blue, Phroz. I'm not generally a great fan of metalic-ish paints on guitars, but I have made exceptions for a couple roughly that colour.
Classic Ford racing blue colour & ties in nicely with Bathurst race on this weekend.Quote:

My new kit came yesterday and yep its another Strat lol but Floyd Rose STF-1 ST its got a really nice body so wanting to go a tint on this one body is to good to hide under paint so not sure what ill do on it yet as been wanting one of them for a wile so its a keeper also wanting to grab a tele next week as well

Nice tint, Phroz.
mmm butterscotchy
Lemon spread.
its a candy yellow tint over bare grain just finished 15 coats of clear today going to leave it for a few days to cure then polish it, pic's don't really show the color but had a real nicely matched body would of been a shame to paint it with a solid color. does any one know where to buy pick guard material from? its got a weird size pick guard on it, much smaller than a standard strat, came with a boring white one probably because of the Floyd rose i guess. So going to haft to make one for it.
Once the Strat is finished i got some candy apple red tint which ill do a telecaster the same way if it comes with a decent matched body, also got candy green but not sure what ill do with it yet.
