    Wow! Oxymoron in me (one of several morons) loves the idea of a light T-60. What color is that? Like a seafoam?

    Same colour I used on the Shoegazer - Rustoleum Ocean Mist. Good product if you can wait out the insanely long cure times.
    Build 1 - Shoegazer MK1 JMA-1
    Build 2 - The Relliecaster TL-1
    Build 3 - The Black Cherry SG AG-1
    Build 4 - The Sonicaster TL-1ish
    Build 5 - The Steampunker Bass YB-4
    Build 6 - The Howling Gowing ST-1

    Yep that’s it Sonic! 4 cans over 2 weeks! This video was more or less my approach https://youtu.be/IP3dx8a-iDA
    I have never cut or polished anything before, very satisfying

    Just watch it on the foam on your stand there. Rustoleum takes months to properly out gas all the solvents and they will melt that foam and it'll get stuck in your finish. Once its fully cured it is really hard though, so I think it makes a good choice for something that will get handled a lot, just need to be wary and gentle while it's still curing.

    Yup...true story.. I did a refinish using Rustoleum on a Peavey Raptor a friend gave me and I almost ruined it by letting it sit on foam on one of my guitar stands before the finish was completely cured. It was still sticking to the foam three or four months later.

    I'm a huge Peavey T-series fan (first bass was a T-45 I bough new in 1983). Love seeing the rosewood T-60 neck, old-style toaster pickup, and one of those old, insane Peavey bridges on a tele body. Very cool.
