Now that the amber tinted coats are done I'm doing clear coats and sanding. Hopefully I can put that phase of my life behind me soon.

It was still wet when I took the photo so I think that added some shine to itOriginally Posted by wokkaboy
. The cross and racing stripes will go on last after the clear coats are finished.

I thought the clear coats over the stickers would protect them more ?

The cross isn't a decal. It will be made out of pickguard material and screwed to the guitar top. The racing strip decals would be better protected under the clear coat, but the original guitar had the stripes applied to a vintage Les Paul so I'm just trying to replicate that.

Looking really good, CGG. You should be able to get a really nice shine on that without any problems. And then you can go and relic it!
At least with this one there is no subjectivity on where to scrape off the finish. I just need to copy the original.
