Took off the masking today and and was pretty pleased with the results. The paint is dry but the guitar will stay on the stand on a high shelf out of harm's way until it fully cures.
MTN94 is a very flat paint. My son told me that he likes that better than a gloss. I kind of think he has a point, but it's still getting clear coat which is harder and more resistant than the paint. I have actually been considering using a glossier finish with the body mostly because I understand from the mfg that it's easier to get it flat with a brush. The mfg also says it's clear coats can be combined so I may use satin on the neck and gloss on the body and headstock... If it meant less sanding it would be worth it, and I have some time to think. The paint and the clear coat mfgs both say to wait until the paint has fully cured to apply the clear. That's about 3 weeks. I'll have decided by then (I hope).
