It would look cool if you had a matching headstock

[FrankenWashie]

The face of the headstock will get that treatment joe, just haven’t got that far yet

Does that pickguard have a dull sheen instead of a shiny gloss one? If so where did you buy it?

It’s actually the white pearloid one that came with the kit. I’ve just roughed it up with 220 grit paper and hit it with the same black rattle can as the body.
If you want a flat black one custom cut, talk to Pablopepper, he can do them for you at a reasonable cost. If this one doesn’t work out then that’s what I’ll be doing.

So now that the stripes are done, do I just build up a bucketload of clear coats to take up the slight step between colours? Or is it advisable to try a light sand?

Looks great FW, Just caught up with this thread.

I'll have to do that with a fret board sometime

Hey Franky looking sweet mate nice job on the stripes. If there are slight ridges between the join lines I would give it a light wet sand with at least 1200 grit paper. The clear coats will level off after 3 or 4 coats of clear.
As long as you have enough colour coats built up.

I'm going to use the kit hardware, which is all black, for the build and potentially upgrade later. I want to just progress this to paint with a minimum of fuss.

Hahahaha(SNORT)! if only I’d known 😂🤣😝

bit of both 8c x w&d 800 x 8c x w&d 800 x 3c should do the job
