How can I get a glossy deep blue finish? Also any ideas about adding gold dust?

Thanks for the feedback!
I think I'll stick to adding dust with the top coat as you guys suggested. I'll have to find how I can spray acrylic gloss without spending too much on a proper spray gun.

Now I've got to decide if I go for maple or rosewood fretboard before I can order! :-)

Thanks for your advice guys, much appreciated.

I got one of these a few years ago, and from memory it wasn't too expensive. Handy for spraying tinned and custom mixed paint without need of a compressor etc.



Obviously nowhere near as good as a proper spray set up, but it'll do as a low cost stop gap solution.
