My first PBG TLA-1 build

No I haven’t owned one of those but I have owned a Talbot Horizon in the UK which had similar issues

Not the prettiest era in car designs.

Definitely not ha, but it got me to see the missus who was studying in Manchester at the time. Had to double clutch quite a bit.

Due to salting the roads during winter, most cars of that era probably suffered the same fate.
I remember a mini clubman estate that had to visit the wreckers due to the floor pan disintegrating.

cheers, Mark.

My old man(who’s still kicking) used to weld so many car floors to get them through the MOT’s .

Both my Alfa's never saw salted roads but still rusted very badly.

Risking going even further 'off topic' but my 850 T3 Moto Guzzi seemed to shed chrome way too easily.
Noted that the 850 leMans didn't seem to have an ounce of chrome on it.

cheers, Mark.

Did you use the colorspec for both the colour and the clear?? The colourspec is an Acrylic but Sonic's comment about Nitro made me wonder whether you had used a different brand for the colour and ended up mixing a Nitro colour coat with the Acrylic clear coat.

I used the same colour spec brands.
Although I sanded back the clear on the same day because of 0000 wool in the clear coat, I then sprayed again in the afternoon. I think that is where I came unstuck. I should have left it another day, it caused a reaction somewhere.

I can safely say this Tele will be unique . And it will be all mine, it won’t be perfect, but it will be mine to play.

Yeah I think I got it confused with another build and was too lazy to scroll back through the thread. I haven't used that brand either, so not sure. Anyway, always a pretty steep learning curve on your first build.

No pics today but I’ve had a crap weekend painting my guitar body.
Applying the final clear coats to it and I kept getting foreign debris in the finish. I had to keep sanding it back and went too far, totally screwed it.
So sanded it all back both sides, bought more paint and sprayed again yesterday 3 coats. I’m going to leave this now as we are off camping next weekend to white gum farm. I will then try the clear coat one more time after that. It will be what it will be, I’ll turn it into a relic if I have to. Oooossaaaa
