Serious skills that you could make some useful cash from when you retire/move.
@tv101 Yeah I will be taking on some new projects for sure. I’m looking forward to starting a new Scottish business. 🏴

@russ and @petervirdee Thank you. Although I have wiped it all off now, I’m going with a different design now.

I wiped all the candy off this guitar and started with a clean slate again. I played around with some masking techniques, trying different shapes and patterns. I then had a flash of inspiration and chose a colour scheme and planned my hardware around it too. It was all going well.

I wanted that ‘60s swirly pattern and I was going to do it with purple and gold candy, over the metal flake. I would then choose mirrored gold scratch plate and back cover plate. Also I decided on all gold hardware to match, it was starting to come together.

I realised that because I was spraying gold over the whole lot, including the purple. Guess what happened? Yep, the purple turned more and more red as I sprayed more coats of gold on. The gold is effectively yellow, so yellow and purple make a dark red, more like red wine. Cheers 🍾🍷🍷Oops! Not what I wanted.

All that work and back to square one. Sure I was downtrodden a bit but what had I lost? Some time and a bit of paint. I stepped away from it and made Haggis, neeps and tattles for my tea, with a wee dram afterwards. 🥃
Not to worry, I live to fight another day. I’ll regroup and come back to it. I ordered all the gold hardware and had it delivered last week. I will not be beaten and will return stronger in my determination to get it done the way I want it be. ✨💜✨💛✨🎸

You have WAY too much fun Boo!
And most people would be more than happy with any of your interim stages!!
@tv101 I do have fun, I know.
Thanks, I am a perfectionist though and if something just isn’t right, I’ll do it again.
Like you say, it’s all fun. 👍
