Pics for FW.
Body after yesterday's priming spray:
Then after rubbing down and (hopefully) getting rid of visible dents and scratches. The back was the worst area.
I then sprayed what was left of the primer tin on the back, so that's now waiting to dry before a bit more sanding that flat again.
What I've used is actually more of a tinted sanding sealer/filler than a true primer (though it's sold as primer), so I don't intend to use any more of it to get to a solid white. It's quite soft, so I'd prefer to have a minimum of it on the body. The daphne blue is a solid paint, not a tinted lacquer, so will cover up the areas where the wood is showing through a bit.
But I'm now down on quite a few types of lacquer, so just put in an order for some various bottles of paint, lacquer and thinners - almost Aus$200 worth. It's not cheap stuff this nitro! And I've just remembered that I'll be needing another can of black for the headstock of me ES-3 and EX-1. Damn!
