September Guitar of the Month (for Guitars and Basses finished in August 2016)

drop dead gorgeous paint work !

[Marelton]

My first build and it came out better than I wanted to so thought I'd enter it for GoM.

It started as a base ST kit, sanded, sealed and primed. Black acrylic base coat applied to the neck and body. Light white base coat over the black and while still wet layered cling wrap onto the wet paint. After a few seconds pulled off the cling wrap to leave a marbled finish.
Next came a light black airbrushed sunburst around the body, neck and headstock followed by 5 coats of Port Red candy (5% concentrate mixed with acrylic clear ). After the candy came 5 coats of clearcoat. Sanded back to a flat surface and then bought back to a deep shine with cutting compound and auto polish.
Finished it off with some chrome covers, knobs and switches.

Two months work on and off, but well worth the time
