Trying to fix some problem areas in the paint on the JK-1, and royally messed it up. Was near the end of the paint can and had a big glob shoot out at once along the bottom horn. I tried to wipe it quickly, but you can imagine how that worked out. Looks like I need some sandpaper and another can of paint. Going to have to sand it back a little and do a few more coats. I wasn't really satisfied with it anyway, but dang this paint is not cheap. On the bright side, I may have enough left with the new can to do the back of the MM1, and I should have the technique down by then.

Nothing really going to plan with either guitar at this point. I haven't been able to get the purple that I want for the MM1 top, even though I followed the exact formula with Keda dyes that I saw a guy use online to get it. I've modified several times from there, testing on a piece of veneer and can't get much change. It's more of a dark plum color than the royal purple I envisioned. I think I should have chosen simpler finishes for the first time.
