    Welcome along Sidewinder. Great to have you on board.

    Thanks,

    I much prefer forums to things like Twitter. That platform can be a complete cesspool and sometimes Facebook is not far behind.

    Hail Sidewinder, You tube post yet ?

    Here is where I am posting the videos.

    The paint arrived yesterday and I will be painting it this weekend as along as the weather cooperates. I did a quick test on a piece of pine I had laying around and the paint is even brighter than I expected. Once I apply 7-8 coats of high gloss lacquer and polish, it might be too bright to even look at without eye-protection.

    Couple of paint pics

    I have not applied the high gloss lacquer yet.

    I love that colour Sidewinder. It'll be amazing with the clear coats on.

    I hope to have this completed sometime next weekend. I'll post the final video for the build on my YouTube channel. .

    The color is Synergy Green and is a super fine metallic. It's much brighter in person. Photos just do not do this color justice.

    That is vibrant!

    I see you painted the headstock. Have you painted the whole neck, or just the front of the headstock?

    The whole thing. After sanding and polishing I'll remove the gloss from the back of the neck like My Schecter Hellraiser Hybrid.

    I have an even bolder color in mind for the V I'm doing next.
