    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.

    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

    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
