Yep, Freeway switch on the lower horn.
As far as the painting goes, I might as well reveal the plan. As I've said this is surf inspired. I'm a kneeboarder (yep, there are some of us left!) and I've always ridden Friar Tuck boards. The board in the middle of the picture below is my current favourite, so I'm modelling the paint scheme on it.
Flip the board on it's side and we're getting close. I'll start by painting the body and pickguard white. I'll then attach the pickguard and mask everything off to do the blue wedge (I'm not going to do the wiggly "sperm" tail - just a straighter kind of thing). That's why I need to be able to paint the pickguard. Then I'll mask again to get that black keyline. Hopefully it will work out and be quite striking, but we'll see!
I've also always loved what the guys at SoCal hotrods do with their artwork - you can see the similarities with the Friar Tuck paintjob in this pic.
