    Talk about spoiled for choice. Decided that the Squier's next colour change would be a metallic purple.
    Seriously thinking of actually painting my current TL-R now also...but what colour?

    cheers, Mark.
    Metallic Purple, now that would be an awesome Colour.

    TL-R how about metallic bronze mmmm.

    You can get really good results with the automotive rattle cans. I'd like to do another metallic. This was one I did for my nephew using SCA rattle cans.


    Build 1 - Shoegazer MK1 JMA-1
    Build 2 - The Relliecaster TL-1
    Build 3 - The Black Cherry SG AG-1
    Build 4 - The Sonicaster TL-1ish
    Build 5 - The Steampunker Bass YB-4
    Build 6 - The Howling Gowing ST-1

    Looks awesome - so good to know that the SCA stuff gives good results.

    I was sorely tempted to go for blue metallic rather than gloss block.

    Wow that looks fantastic, if I do another one I’d definitely do metallic.

    That looks fantastic - I would say its identical to the colour on my Fender J-Bass

    I am so impressed with how that turned out - a colour to remember for the future.

    Thanks, me too. I am a little worried because when I applied the last primer I did have cracking (not major but it was there) on the left hand side of the neck pick up and on the inside edge of the (I’m going to call it the horn) where I might have sprayed too much. So I’m going to have to learn to apply more sparingly.

    I haven’t even touched the neck yet so I might start that when I am waiting for the body to dry.
