    Update:


    Just sprayed the Gold Strat body with it's first coat of Gold spray paint after giving it a light sanding-down with some 800-grit sandpaper, will post a couple of pics so you can see what it looks like now, happy with the results I'm getting so far, there doesn't seem to be any evidence of paint-reaction issues anywhere on the body, going to give it an hour to dry before applying another coat.


    And here we are, this is what the Gold Strat body looks like after I sprayed it with the first coat of White Knight Super Gold paint, does it look cool or what?:

    Note: The grain-pattern still seems to be showing-through the paint but I've decided not to worry about it and keep it as a feature because I think it actually adds to the effect I'm trying to achieve, so, I'm very happy with the results I'm getting so far, this is just what I was originally envisioning in my mind when I started this build-diary.
