Hey there campers, time for an update. I tried having someone at the men's shed do the flying bass clef dragon logo in some thin timber with the small CNC router, but it did not go well... the feed speed looked to fast to me and I suspect the bit was blunt.. I could see the bit chattering. After browsing Amazon and a a lot of humming and haring (I didn't want to spend the money)I coughed up for a Cricut Maker which was old stock and going for cheap. The upshot is that I decided to go the Trevor's suggested route and use paint.



Obviously since it's a KISS inspired instrument I felt compelled to put the Black Sabbath logo on there........ I wasn't too worried about the bumpy first coat of clear over the old , sanded clear, but what did bother me was this:



Sadly there was some marking from the stencil film that I thought would disapear with the clear... it didn't

Looks like I'm gunna have to sand it back to the clear under the logos. I've already did another stencil, this time on a larger piece of vinyl with the lettering and logo on the same piece so it will mask the whole headstock in one hit. The realy tricky bit is weeding the stencil and then removal of the stencil after spraying. I used a medium flake silver called Sparkalecent Bada Bling Silver. It's kinda translucent , so you have to build up thin coats , but also be aware that what it looks like in just the black background is different to when the stencil is there. The temptation is to add more coats than you need and that just builds up an edge that would require more coats of clear to bury. I'm happy with the effect so the next time round should hopefully work out.
