Okay, because i don't need to show you all what sanding looks like, not much has been happening in this diary.

We are now down to the nitty gritty on this thing. Body is smoothed off and sanded to an appropriate level and i am now looking at Paint and Decals.

First coat of Cabothane has gone on the neck but I'm not real happy with it, it seems i got a dodgy can, and the nozzle and spray dispersion has been really poor. I may have to strip back and try again, with a different can.

The reason for doing this first is to get the decals on the headstock:

I'm sticking with the branding Sonic did for me as i think it works well on a traditional Strat headstock, and the rest is pretty standard, just personalised to the bloke this is for.

I've still got to pick a colour but i am looking at the Supercheap Auto range Andy40 mentioned and a couple of others, so far we are either going an olympic-ish white, or a deep red.
