Hey guys, I just got back from the garage, and now the highlights are applied!!! Now it's time to wait until Friday night, then I can start the top coats!!!!
EDIT: If the top coat doesn't go off, I'll finish this kit with a noice shine to it just before the 20th of July, plenty of time for the neck to settle and for me to get some demos done!!!
where's the photos Pest with the highlights bro, should be just enough light in sunny Melbourne ?

No, it was silver! Gold highlights are planned for the StratoPester though!!
no worries Pest, after I sent my message I thought you would barely see gold highlights on golden rod so silver would be my choice too.
What colour is the stratopester going to be ?
I should have my hands on aramanthine in about an hour !

Yes, i realized that game as well today..... The StratoPester is going to be a deep, rich red with Silver highlights mixed with the base coat, and gold highlights in the grain, and the neck will be vintage amber!!!!! The StratoPester is costing nearly $400 though, and I get anywhere between $20-$40/month, so that's at least a year from now to get it done, I wonder if Sky Music will employ me.... so I might do a pup winder instead!!!
Hey Pest! Congrats on the 1000 post milestone! Awesome contribution and dedication to the forum and being the welcoming committee!
