What did we do wrong?

[Trevor Davies]

Hey guys, I bought my Dad a kit bass and this Dingotone body finish as a project for him to do.
He followed the tutorials on the youtube channel on how to apply the finish.
He said he did the stain 4 times, the intensifying coat 3 times, and the final coat twice.
I've attached 3 photos, the first one from late February, the 2nd from mid-March, and the last one is from a couple of days ago.
The colour has pretty much vanished completely, we were just wondering if there's something he should have done differently, or if the body finish kit was maybe faulty or something?

The loss in colour here is disappointing and very frustrating. I would send an email to PB about this, and see what they recommend.

There are a number of other options for blue stains in Australia. But I would sand it all back and start again!
