Paisley... It begins!

[Nickosaurus]

Cheers for the advice Calais. I filled the bigger holes with poly so I can drill again. Sanded smooth up through grits then titebond + fabric on top.

Currently layering on decoupage in 30 min intervals (it's been pretty warm here) then i'll be starting on the top of the body.

Will keep the auto shops in mind for 2k cheers.

Uuupdate time.

Experiment: successful (so far).

Here's a few pics:

Razors to cut back the hardened fabric:


The finished product minus a quick sand of 600-800


The ribbing around the outside is just a bit of glue that needs to be sanded down.

Next steps for this is to do the top, do a beading of super glue + sand flush to the sides.

Then it'll be time to spray a burst + clears!

Exciting stuff

Beginning to look quite cool indeed. Paisley resembles fractal pictures to my mind.
This is a good thing. So is the way this jobbie is turning out.

[Nickosaurus]

Cheers lads.

@Max it reminds me of kaleidoscopes. Love it!

QUESTION:

Any suggestions on burst colour? I was thinking pink/pinky red or some sort of greeny blue

[wokkaboy]

so Nick you doing a burst over the paisley fabric ?
think with the colours of the paisley you would be best to stick to maybe a darker red/pink burst

This is a very interesting project, looking forward to seeing the finished guitar looks great so far!
