Looking pretty good. I've had issues with product myself and whilst the supplying companies have been great (even if one was a little slow), it's still hassle you don't want.
If you want a true wine red, it has a touch of blue in it (5%-10% depending on how dark a red you want), if you ever want to mix some up up again.
Ahh interesting, thanks for that! In normal light it looks like a wine red at the moment but in the direct sunlight like those photos it does unfortunately appear lighter but Im still happy with the colour so farI will definitely try add the blue next time as I love wine red!
Ooh, I like that red wine look, I was tossing up between red and blue for the build I’m doing now and blue won. My older brother has a Gibson bass he bought new in 73 and it’s a similar color.

Ok... so where do I begin... Unfortunately I made the huge mistake of being impatient... The guitar was coming along soooo well and I had finished my clear coats when I decided to try polish the guitar... Problem was... I had only waited a few days and the polish went straight through it and got trapped in the clearRIP. I then left the guitar sitting there for quite a long time as I lost motivation after this happened. Luckily.. A good friend of mine is a extremely good air brush artist (IG: blackhartairbrush). We discussed what we could possibly do on this guitar to make it unique and look nice as he has always wanted to paint a guitar himself. We ended up coming up with some designs based off a wolf in amongst the northern lights. This weekend he got started on this and I have the first update of this now. Still plenty to do but already happy with how its starting to come out! Will keep this thread updated with progress pics. Cant wait for this to be put together now!
