Thanks @Frankenwashie .. if there is nothing in the rules about this why are people frowning upon it. I am proud of the work I did on both of these guitars. It was a ton of work, and a real learning process. Will leave it in, but was not happy with the comment about not painting it myself. I wanted a quality finish, and would not have come close to what I wanted on my own. Both are deep metallic candy finishes. I will leave it in there. I got the same comments on my yellow build as well, and was docked points for not painting it myself. Who knows this month .. we'll see.
