Many thanks, Simon. I will spray with a color similar to the direction I want to go, maybe saving some excessive sand-back.

Just a thought to prospective builders who may see this - If you think you may upgrade the tuners down the road, make the upgrade when buying the kit. PBG's price for the Grover tuners with the kit is a whole lot less than what I just paid for D'Addario locking tuners to upgrade my AG (last winter's build). They are worth the money, but I could have saved a chunk.
