Super brief photo update, got the small amount of orange peek the hell away and this is the result of 5 minutes of polishing on my break at work today.

Looks beautiful mate. Can't wait until it's all together.
Thanks lads. I'll be honest here, getting a bit nervous about the stock trem. Have seen some guys high e refuse to stay clamped. Is there a direct replacement that will fit the stud spacing on the 7 string? Hope it all works.
There's heaps floating around on eBay man. Or Guitar Center has one at a good price (if you want a more reputable source, and don't mind shipping).

That's a dazzlingly effective finish happening on the bod.
Should be the alpaca's knackers when it's all in one piece.
P.S. my Redback won't be nearly as flash as this one.
Thanks max. Pretty sure your beast trumps a shiny paint job. I mean, it's got fangs. I haven't got fangs. Don't think anyone else here has fangs except you mate. Fangs > shiny paint.
Looking great Andrew! That's a deep shine you've got yourself there. She's looking better and better with each update!
cheers,
Gav.

Nice paint job looks awesome and love the logo work.
Just a question on the logo, can you stain over it without anything coming off .
Thinking off many applications for this.
Thanks mate but I broke it by being a tad over exhuberent while polishing. Nothing serious. Researched a technique called flow coating so I'll give that a crack. Happy though caus with just polish chewed the clear, black, red, silver down to the primer so at least my paint is thin. Couldn't give a rat's though as today I found out I am going to be a dad!
