Ahh, got it, so something no finer than 360 and dry sand just to level off enough before spraying clear...cool. Thanks heaps McCreed for the advice, very helpful! Now i just need to work on the best way to do my large decal! It will be broken into 4 pieces to be more manageable but has its own challenges of lining up correctly, no wrinkles and working with the cavities which cause cause it to sink and pull....well i guess thats the fun part of building your own guitar :-)
