Tonight, after three coats of the blue, I unmasked! Pretty happy with the result other than a couple of bleed points where the blue joins the pickguard and on the corner of the neck pocket. The pickguard ones I kind of expected as it proved pretty difficult to mask the "step" between the two surfaces, and I've got no idea at all how the neck one happened!! Still, I think I should be able to clean them up enough to get by - it probably looks a bit worse in the photo than it does in real life. I'm really happy with the blue in that I wanted it to look like the blue was sprayed on a surfboard blank rather than absolutely solid. It'll be interesting to see how it all looks after clear coating.
Still working on a couple of ideas for the black keyline...
