Try letting it dry longer between coats.....make a good base...sand sand sand prime and let hang....then coat and let that dry even up to a week. Should help the paint harden before you go again. These paint cans are never as specific and accuarte as your own spray booth and you don't know what the propellants and solvents do on your finish. Love the colour by the way.
Happy with the name. The splash will go on the back of the headstock but it's a pain to cut out each bit individually. Then the black will go on.
Decided against the splotch design and taped it up straight instead. May tape it again and fade from black to pink.
Peeled the taped stencil off the headstock today. Not perfect but it will do.
Shoota, loving the look of this. Once some certain occupants of our household see this I can foresee some 3/4 builds being requested
