I wish it was a GTS, it was my son's toyota corona mark2
I put primer on the body today now the fun startsI will let it dry for a couple of days, then sand it back and fill in any holes then prime and sand again with a guide coat to make sure she is nice and smooth ready for the color coat.
Did some more this weekend I got the paint down and gave the neck some more clear. Its got a couple of pinholes and some of the grain is showing through but overall its pretty good just have to fix it up a bit then clear coat it. I went for a ice blue color. I would love a white mother of pearl pickguard, they have strat and tele ones in the store but not bass ones. I have seen some on ebay but would have rather spent my money here. gettin close nowI am really digging some of the builds going on here as well.

Thanks Guys
The color is pretty good, my daughter pick it out. I have one can left and think a matching tele with hot rail pickups would look niceTomorrow it gets the buffer, so should be nice and shiny and ready to be put together.
