Hope it can still end up looking ok.

Hey wazkelly177774!

Here are my excuses....I got promoted at work and the responsibility level increased dramatically. I am out of energy. I am about buy a retirement home....blah blah.... Thus, I haven’t had any time to work on this guitar...until now.

A while back we had a dry sunny day so I sprayed the body with satin black paint and about 3 coats of satin clear coat. I’m not gonna lie. It looked terrible. It cured and now I’ve wet sanded it with 1000 grit paper. It is freakin smooth to the touch and no paint came off from the sanding. I am using lousy Krylon paint from ACE hardware.

Well, tonight, I’m going to wet sand with 1200 grit, then 1500 grit, 2000, then some swirl remover rubbing compound, I am confident I can make this thing look ok. It’s time for me to return to playing!

Stand by for updates on the longest build in Pit Bull history!
