Gav hasn't used concho - DB has always done it for him - and added tassles, glitter and sparkle - though how he did it with Wudtone I'm not sure... :?

BWAHAHAHAAAAAAAAH!
.....Oh dear...
Rick, it isn’t Adam you have to worry about, it is me.
Go and join Gav, Wokka and AJ in the naughty corner!
Seriously, you need to apply at least three or four coats of the base colour before it starts to get any depth...
There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
DB how big is the naughty Corner? It's getting a bit packed out and we've sadly run out of beer!

Ok, so it's to the naughty corner is it, well you other guys can have the beer, but who's on coffee roster this week?
Just for the record, I stuffed up the head stock, I started on that as it's easy to sand back, which I have, now it has orange peel. I hope this will polish out, so I can put some clear gloss stuff on it.
Is the gloss I got from Adam (with the pink) suitable to rag on to the paint. Any help there would be appreciated, cause if I do that I just may need to get more sand paper.
Here is a photo.
AAAAaaaHHHHHhh no option to add pix, hold on I'll try something.
Ok that worked.
Also a photo of front and back of the body
Well... That is certainly looking very pink now!
Well Ricmo - that is pink

Just an undercoat for the next colour if you are not happy....
I always envisioned it as a paler colour. More strawberry milkshake than drag-queens lipstick.

Well, no pix today, should have taken one when I finished sanding, not to worry it sort of looked like I hadn't started (almost) .
Tried to fix it the lazy way, but I wasn't happy with it so out came the sand paper. I sure was surprised to find that a hollow was in the middle of the head stock, strange it wasn't there when I sanded it the first times. Anyway after much sanding it was bare wood, then out came the spray can and very thin coats applied. So now it looks like it did before I messed with it.
Maybe might be able to put a pix or two up in a day or so..
