    Thanks for the response phrozin.

    For the base coat I am going to use SCA rattle cans, Primer filler and then a white coat.

    I haven't purchased anything to for the artwork side of things, but was looking at a paint pen style like this
    Will I be able to scuff the surface with 240 or something like that to help the paint grip?
    Final coat I was just looking at SCA rattle can clear version of the ones in the photo to provide a glossier finish and protection to the art.

    Headstock is shaped.

    Plan is tru-oil finish for the headstock and neck. Are there any guides on here for the preparation work and applying (other than "apply it with a t-shirt" which is all I can find on youtube)?

    Also what kind of treatment do I need to do to the fret board?
