Well this one is going back in it's Box for a while.



I have other projects going on that require less frustrating effort to complete, and haven't yet pissed me off as badly as trying to get this thing flat.

We shall reconvene once I can be arsed sanding this back bare and starting again.

Hey frank haven't been on the forum too much since xmas nothing on tonight so having a catch up it looks to me if the paint isn't sticking to the wood and quite a bit and of swell and shrink going on, black is the most pain in the arse to get it flat and to get looking beautiful and real easy to have it look terrible, it certainly requires attention to detail but looks killer when it done right what paint are you using, what are you using as primer and what are you using to fill the grain or sealer. is it a ash or basswood Are you wanting a super flat glass shiny black or a smooth arse matt?

Hi phrozin,
It’s all done in rustoleum rattle cans, 4 undercoats over timbermate, about 4 colour, rubbed back, then 2 over the top of that.
The issue at the back is that there was a seperate single piece veneer across the rear, and this is the bit that is bubbling and chipping.
The paint on the front is sweet as, but this on the back will Sh!t Me up the wall if I don’t fix it.
I have used the same paints in the SV-1 build with no issues, so I think it’s just prep and bad luck.
