Stans LP build

[stan]

ok, some more progress.
I'm finally happy with the satin black and scraped the binding: see awesome tool (biggest pain of a job ever...)







Some edges needed a touch up as thought, just taped and resprayed:







lots better now, edges are neat and satin seems nice and even, without any major hideous bits jumping out at me:



Headstock/neck, also ready for clear (and custom logo...)

Looking great Stan.You couldn't have picked a worse colour for showing up imperfections or dust etc... Black is the best looking colour but the hardest to work with , looks like you nailed it though.

[stan]

thanks Jarrod - gloss black wouldn't have been too bad - you can buff out the imperfections.
With satin you have to nail it or repaint - if you buff it, then it isn't satin: hence several coats.

My crappy iphone shots iron out a few imperfections as well, I need the Jarrod spray booth

[jarrod]

Yes it does tend help with the dust problems , especially with two pack that sucks in particals from two miles away lol... seriously though Stan it looks pretty special

Sensational work Stan. Love the black.

Looking sweet Stan, all the hard work and heartache is finally paying off now man!

looks great Stan, as you say satin black probably the hardest finish to get right.
Yes binding is a pain to clean but will be a really good contrast between the black and white
