Trans colors woodgrain

[METAL Rulez 4ever]

Just wondering, with the Dingotone range or another brand...is there such thing as a transparent colors to coat the wood grain so you can still see the wood grain but in a variety of colors ? Sorry if this is a stupid question, i am sure there is but would like to know more so i can have a variety of different finishes for these bass kits.

Yes mate, all of the Dingotone is see-through. That's the main difference between stain and paint. You can still see the grain through the colour.

Awesome, thank you Zandit. If i mix the bondi blue and uluru red, it should turn purple, yeah ?

[Zandit75]

Theoretically yes, but I do believe Dingobass was working on a new purple colour.
Perhaps you should ask him about it, he is the creator of Dingotone after all!

Sure is; I have blue, green, red and black Feast & Watson stain; the more coats you apply, the deeper the colour.

This was done using the green...

I bought mine from a paint shop in Hervey Bay that was going out of the coloured stains; you could find the agent for Feast and Watson in Australia and go from there??

That would be the best place to start. Keep in mind, Dingobass has been working on some brighter and more vibrant colours, so if you don't see the colour you are interested in there, drop DB an email for more information.

Part way through the process. Sanded body, put on stain coat. It didn't really come up with the colour I expected after watching the videos. The back was pink! Hung body in well ventilated space for 5 days. Noticed that the surface was really rough again so sanded with 400 grit to bring it back to smooth. Applied the intensifying coat. Back and sides don't look to bad but front is awful. Colour slightly better but back still pink! Lots of raised rough lines. What do I do now? I will leave it for a week and intend sanding again. Is this the right thing to do? Then do I do another intensifying coat? Or do I go to the Final Coat.

So far really disappointed in the finish. Has anyone had similar problems? Can I cut and run? Can I now finish the guitar in a paint finish instead. If so how do I do it?

The guitar I am really happy with. Dingotone, I am not sure about. Help.
