this will be so far removed from the typical Ramones style Mossy

Still makes me think more of the Pink to Purple shades as that is definitely so far removed from Ramones as you could get.

Great to see you building one of these Deddy, waiting expectantly for more details. I am very guilty of building the Ramones std white, but the ash model I also built was one of my favourite axes to play (RIP). Can't wait to see what you come up with.

cheers,
Gav.

And finally the suspense is over... nice color Dedman.. and as usual already a very smooth beautiful finish underway... you make it look so easy..

Indeed a nice color. Reminds of an old Hofner guitar I had some years ago.

thanks mate, I just use a small suction feed spray gun and auto acrylic. The primer fills really well. This has 6 coats of primer (sanding after every 2), that's 4 coats of red. Sanded a lot of the first coat off getting it dead flat, sanded again after the second (600 grit now was on 400 before) this will get wet sanded with 600, 2 more coats of red, sanded with 800, then a coat or 2 of a mix of clear and red, sanded again, then 2 more of plain clear , sanded to 2000, then cut and polish. It will take a couple of weeks because of other commitments, plus it allows for the paint to really dry out.

thats candy apple dedman if you want a red closer to candy apple you can get color Shanghai Red you can get it in 1 350m tin is pretty darn close to a candy apple can also get a candy apple in the small tin 150ml but will need 2 to do a body if you want at shoot colour with a gun its a cat 4 color due to the mica and pearl in it so expect a hefty price you can shoot the color with a can and shoot to clear in a gun and do a flo coat and it will look amazing just off the gun.

if you want to do clear over base like the original expect $250 to $350 for paint only, just try to help ded 👍

Hi Deddy, looks good, in fact much better than the lolly pink I thought it might have been.
