That's for sure mate, I'll see if I can get a pic of the body with the intensifier on it done with my new camera and posted for everyone today so stay tuned.
Here we go, here are a couple of pics of the body with it's first coat of CG Intensifier, the neck has had its last Colourless Final Coat applied:
Let me know if the image quality is much better, cheers.
Looking good, Doc.

Cheers mate.
For sure, the results I've gotten has told me that I made the right decision on the type of finish, thanks for convincing me to go with the TM and the DT CG, very happy with the results I've gotten, and it was so easy to do as well.
How many more coats of intensifier do you reckon I should apply?, three more, or would that be too much?
no worries Doc the forum is here to help.
You may find the intensifying coats may darken a little as they cure, so hold off for the next coat

No worries, I'll wait till the first Intensifier coat has dried and see what it looks like then.
I'm going round to my mate's place this afternoon for another practice session and won't be back home till tomorrow, should give the Intensifier coat plenty of time to dry.
Doc, you should be giving the coats minimum 2-3 days curing between coats, remember don't rush it !

You're right, I'll give the intensifier coat a check to see if it's dry on Sunday and see how we go from there then mate.
