Sure am mate. Just took the tape off and it held up perfectly. Just went over the binding with some steel wool, gonna retape it now, prime again then it's time for some colour!
cool, did u have any photos of the binding process Andrew ?
Did you use a dremel attachment to cut the edges ?

nah man it's faux binding like what PRS do on theirs. basically you prep the wood underneath and before you prime it, mask off a 1/4 inch band with painters tape. here is a pic
in no way skilled enough to be let anywhere near a dremel. i'm freaking about drilling holes for the tuners etc haha
That edge looks really neat. And a cool way to get it too!
So shot some colour in the neck yesterday. After it has dried the silver has come up real nice but the black In places has dried really dull where other seem to be nice and glossy. Is it caus it my have been too cold to spray?
ah ok got it Andrew, thats a cool effect to show a strip of the ash wood, that should look really cool with the silver burst top. I thought if it was real binding you got it all done very quickly !

Andrew with the neck paint, doubt it was temperature that caused the dullness, unless you live in Canberra.
Its the first colour coat right ? Give it a wet sand and hopefully next coat will be more uniform. Are you using spray cans ? A tip is to put the can in warm water for half hour before and give it a really good shake before application. Make sure the neck is clear of any debris before spraying
