While I haven’t put anything up for a while, I have been doing things. I had been waiting for some things to come in..namely, my topcoat and some retarder and the spray gun kit I ordered. The spray kit is apparently in Australia but tracking doesn’t seem to be working properly, so I’m hoping it will turn up next week.
In the meantime, I have worked on the neck, fitting my bling, which is epoxied at the front and screwed in from the back. It won’t be going anywhere. I’ve also installed the tuners. I haven’t set the heights properly yet (they are variable height) to get my break angle over the neck properly done.
The neck is looking like this.
And the tuners specifically like this
In the meantime, I had another can of the colourshift paint, so I decided to give it another coat to do a richer finish.
It now looks like this.
Except for the tiny detail that, it dropped onto the floor (and some pedals stored on the floor, conveniently directly under the drying guitar).
The result was this.
Soo.....damn.
I have more of the base coat and will order another can of the colourshift. That will take 10 days or so to get here, so...when the body is properly dry, I will sand back the affected areas and reapply the black base coat....then spray and spray again to go back to what it should look like.
I’m pretty happy with the colour now though, so I have something to aim for.
Still upside down photos. I keep rotating and rotating them in edit mode and they still come out upside down! Wtf is going wrong.
Anyway, I guess that is the least of my problems today.
I guess it is another chance to get things right.....
