The colour plan is to give the body a gray look to go with black pearl scratchplate and chrome harware. Same shade of gray to the headstock top and very light/dirty shade of gray to the fretboard and gradually getting darker gray to the back of the neck.

Just got a tip how to age the chrome hardware too. Some builders here have used hydrochloric acid's fumes to do it (by putting the hardware in a larger container, then putting the acid in a small jar in it and closing the lid for a few hours. Need to use proper masks and other protective wear while doing it but it does work. Don't know if I'll do it but apparently it can be done.

And Woks - not as hard with the drill and brush I admit... 😂
