Next step.....removing all that paint. i tried electric sanding but the paint got too hot and melted it, so i used a heatgun very gently and on the lowest setting. Worked like a treat. Used universal thinners to clean it all up being careful not to rub too hard in the stained edges.
A little bit of builders bog, a gentle and careful sand and all ready for taping and silver coat.
This time i sanded the edges so they have a slight curve to them so i wont have such a square edge.
i will also apply the tape a little higher for the silver basecoat, then take it off and reapply again a little lower so all the silver is covered.
In the last pic i have reapplied the gold teak stain to the edges again and reapplied the wipe on poly, all ready for the silver basecoat. Fingers crossed!
Hope this helps any Newbie like me if they ever want to paint their headstock. Documented trial and error...lol
