    Hey Doc I would sand the bulk of TM off with 240 grit then as most of it is off go to 320 grit and higher grits.
    It's worth pre-sanding the body to 240 grit before the TM goes on otherwise you risk sanding it out.
    Current Builds and status
    scratch end grain pine tele - first clear coat on !
    JBA-4 - assembled - final tweaks

    Cheers mate, I'll do that then, hopefully that'll make the surface nice and smooth so that the grain doesn't show through the paint, this has all been a great learning-experience for me so far, and when get round to doing the finishing work on the HotRod Strat, I'll apply what I've learnt to it, but I'm going to wait till I've finished the Gold Strat off first so I can keep myself focused.


    I can easily see this thread going for quite a few more pages, I may even be able to keep it going till I get to a double-ton.
