I've had a bit of a mess around with this. My original design calls for the body to be white with a black flower. I've ordered black hard ware to suit this. So the way we did the mask didn't really work for that. I probably should have weeded it in reverse, but oh well.
So I will use the blank and paint it white and then get some vinyl cut for the design. I'll apply that before clear coats and it should work out well. In the mean time I figured I'd just play with the other one. You can't leave the appi tape on too long or the glue goes off and its a bastard to remove. So I gave it a quick squirt with black. There was a bit of bleeding into the Reverbanite, which I half expected. I then started working some wood stain I had into it. I actually don't mind it and I'll keep working away at it, but it's not the look I was planning.
I think If I knock it back a bit and stain again it will even out, then I'll see how it looks with some clear, just 'cause.
I really have to stop messing around with this and focus on the Telecaster though....
