A leopard doesn't change it's spots, just because it lives with Tigers. ;-)

So, from that i presume you are a Knights fan? Better days ahead and they will be a stronger team for all the past few years adversity.

Sorry bro, way off the mark. You'd be surprised how many people in the Newcastle support other teams. ;-) It's not disloyalty, but just people up from Sydney, or they just remain loyal to the team they have always supported. I have known quite a few players that played for Newcastle, and they respect people for sticking to the teams they always supported. ;-)

did you use a grain filler? what primer did you use, if you paint it like it is its going to give you grief when its ready to polish the more you do on the prep and how flat you get it will determine what it will look like when finished or are you one of the people who like relic's

Over the weekend, I painted the Strat Red, and lined it with Copper foil.

I then attached the neck.
I had to redrill the holes as they were not deep enough.

Looks like I have to do some work, so hopefully the nut file kit I ordered is suitable.

I'd be very careful with what you do at the minute as the paint won't have hardened yet, so will be very easy to mark. I'd leave it at least two weeks before doing anything else to it or playing it or you may well end up having to respray it.

I know it's frustrating, but that's just the way it is.

I take it that you have no plans to sand and polish the finish, or add any protective clear coat?

Hi simon. It's had a 2pack coat.

Afraid I'm not familiar with 2 pack sprays, so have no idea if it's self levelling or could still benefit from a sand and polish.
