So I may or may not be a week behind when I planned to update. Part of this was due to other life-happenings, partially thinking about and planning my 7-string build, and partially accidentally sanding bits too far and needing to go over them with paint again.
But after all that was done, I've finally got all the masking off the front for now!!
One of the first things I noticed was:
I messed up the black part of the snout. Everything else came out quite nicely, couple of little bleeds, but nothing that can't be fixed. I also spent a fair bit of tonight wet sanding everything down, especially the edges where the black meets the grey.
I also started to tidy up the headstock to make sure it's ready for clears. In doing so though I ended up scuffing a bit of the grey off. so instead of mucking around re-masking everything and making it perfect, I just scuffed up a bit more of the headstock to make it intentional. Even now it's nothing major, but I like the effect.
Tomorrow I've got to check the compatibility of some paints in order to touch things up, but should only be a couple of days before I do the clear coats. Much excitement
