I did everything disastrous I could have done this time. I taped off the head to black the front, used black shed paint forgot to stir it, forgot to mask off the tuning peg holes so it dripped through then I tried to get it all off with a stanley blade and scored the back! It hasn't dried too bad. Looks like ancient Gibson. I am not sure where I am going. May sand the whole thing back and restain it. I was well pist off as the stain was looking great but I have recovered and it is quite funny now
