    Hey Doc no need to rush the coats. After 3rd coat the colour should look more even. Should be fine though they look like light coats you are applying

    I think that third coat looks like it's enough I'll stop applying more coats, I'm really liking the results I'm getting now, so I won't do anything more with it, I just took a couple more pics of the body with the third coat of paint on it, here's the result I got:

    That Metallic Blue colour really has become more vibrant, hasn't it?, I think it contrasts pretty well with the dark colour of the Rosewood fretboard on the neck.


    So that's all the work I'm going to do on it for today, I'm going to leave it to dry thoroughly till next Tuesday, and I'll take it from there.
