Looks awesome! Love the body shape change and it's a gorgeous colour.

The colour looks pretty solid at this point (I'm using MTN94) but the surface looks a little like 1200 sandpaper - smooth but with a very fine texture. Now I'm guessing that the gloss will "fill" the texture and you'll never notice once it's all done, but I'm not sure!

There are also a couple of spots on the body where a bit of dust has settled, and I feel like I want to sand them but simply not sure! Edit: Just had a closer look and I was able to wipe the dust away so now it's all okay.

Any advice greatly appreciated!!

Hey Chuck,

Which MTN94 colour is this one? I picked up a squier recently and am thinkin of doing a Daphne Blue. This looks close. Are they good products?

Hey Andy, it's RV-156 Barceloneta Blue. I've followed Gav's lead in using them and reckon they are great. When ordering, make sure you grab a couple of the additional "heads" that give you a vertical or horizontal spray. The standard head is okay, but the additional ones are great and they are quite cheap. I'm using them with White Knight Rustguard all purpose primer and White Knight Crystal clear.

Thanks Chuck, you're a legend.
