Thanks mate. Yes, as long as I can smooth out the the last intensifying coat without loosing the colour, I'l be in business.Originally Posted by wokkaboy
I went too thick on the last two coats and really messed things up. I got too impatient.
I get what you are saying about the bridge and hardware Simon, but stick with me here, in my mind, it will still look classy provided I get the next couple of steps to work out right.
Type into Google, 'tele sunburst' under the images tab and look at how many different bursts there are. Pretty much all of them are achieved using paint, but my point is that even genuine ones are vastly different from each other. My vision is for a stained look with more black on the edges than most but trying to maintain as much woodgrain as I can. Once the Tru-oil goes on, I hope to get a glossy but transparent finish. Once I have finished the body we'll see how the hardware matches up and make a decision then I guess.
Only time will tell.
This is my first try and I really appreciate the comments, encouragement and assistance from you all.
Chris
