After too many attempts to get this done I have reached a point whereI am happy at least with the neck.
Thanks to AJ for his help with sorting the spray gun(I still have a long way to go).
I have tried to get a gloss on this neck about 5-6 times each time cutting through the Japan Black. Each time having to patch the cut through and repspray with clear. The danger with spraying clear on a neck is to not get it too thick, but thick enough so you can cut out all the pock marks. I think I have gotten this one as close as I can.
