I wasn't sure if I'd started a build diary but this is a tele I got from the August sale. Saw some gold paint in a shop and thought better try it.
It's got 2 coats of clear and unfortunately it's dulled the gold shine down.
Got a mirror gold pickguard cut by Pablo and a gold hardware upgrade.
Still got a fair bit of work to do on the neck.
I also have a gold mirror control cover to put on, the one in the photos are the gold plate from the hardware upgrade

cheers Zeus, I had to sand back the headstock had some really small cracks appearing. It's got 2 gold coats, maybe another 2 gold coats, waiting on vinyl logo then have to sand the back of the neck and clear coat it. Not sure if I'll paint the whole neck gold. I've already spend almost $90 on the paint so think it will be clear !

Drool. Loving the mirror on matt gold mate. Would love to have a play on this one!
Awesome work Woks, the Gold theme is sensational! One to hide from telenappers!
