No worries Adam, fairly relevant stuff to consider for any build, not just set necks.

Spent a couple of hours scraping the bindings last night. Glad that is now over with.....


Brushed on a full strength coat of TO all over tonight and was happy with how things looked whilst still wet which has encouraged me to continue with chosen colour scheme.

You're teasing us on the colour scheme

What ever its is it's towards the red end of the spectrum I think. In BW photography blue reads as white, red as black depending on shade.

Geez, I had never looked at BW photos with that in mind so we can definitely rule out blue then.

Colour reveal maybe when I have a few more top coats done and showing some shine.

Hi Sonic, just for laughs I have taken some photos of various coloured cars at work today and may create a fresh post to test this theory. In the meantime, happy for anyone to guess what colour this car is?

To be honest its only a general rule of thumb. There are a lot of factors that figure into it. I'm also not sure how modern digital cameras handle it specifically. But when I did photography back in the dark(Room) ages, the silver halide crystals on the celluloid definitely clumped more for shades of blue than shades of red.

Colour theory is pretty interesting subject, the difference between additive and subtractive process's comes up a lot in my day job as people don't seem understand that things look different on a computer screen to printed - RGB being additive and CMYK being subtractive... further complicated by us using CMYK to proof with as its closer to how the print will look but generally duller looking on screen.

On the face of it I'd say that car is red, but I also suspect you may have chosen a dark blue metallic colour to make it more difficult to tell

Dark bluey
