Is the purple around the outside just a trick of the light?

@russ Yep, the colour flips depending on the angle at which you view it. When I move the guitar around, the colours are constantly shifting from green to purple. 

Northern Lights @boo. 😂😁 

🙂🎶🎸🙏

I put a 3rd coat on and took it outside into the daylight to view the Northern Lights @russ 😁

As this colour is a base coat, it dries with a matt/satin sheen, it will come alive once I put the shiny reflective clear coat on. I’m thinking of putting a couple of Matt black racing stripes down the middle to give it some contrast. 

@Boo awesome results! Great clean transition of hue

@clinton Thanks man. Remember, this is just one paint, I haven’t blended one colour into another, it’s the paint that is doing all the work, I just sprayed it on. 

Sorry for the portrait mode of this video, it was just more practical for me as I was wielding this big Jazz Bass body at the same time as videoing. I can’t wait to get the clear coat on now.

And to make it play faster of course, because we all know racing stripes make things faster.

@jonhodgson 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Looks Great @boo. Very clean smooth finish. 

🙏🎸🎶🙂

Right, I’ve got all the clear coat on. Shiny shiny! 

That looks badass!

@louis-kerckhove Thanks Louis, it’s come out ok I think. 👍 

Shiny Shiny @boo. 😎 

🎶🎸🙏🙂

I got this bass out in the sun today, it’s turned out quite nice. The effect of this paint is quite subtle in comparison to the metal flake and candy but just as nice. I still thing it needs breaking up with something, some matt black stripes maybe. 

Hey @boo. I think I like this more than the flake paint. Very smooth looking. 

🎶🎸🙏🙂

@boo

Yeah, that looks awesome!

I really like racing stripes and I‘m wondering how that would look. 🤔 🤔 🤔

@russ Yeah, it’s all subjective isn’t it? I’ve got some hyper shift paint to try next.

That sounds even more interesting. We're all getting a great education in paint jobs here from you @boo. Thanks for all you're doing.

@mattbeels I think because it is a bass, there is a lot of space, especially as I’m not putting the scratch plate back on. All that space needs breaking up so a couple of racing stripes will do the trick. I’m thinking of either matt black or maybe use the same colour but just change the texture by using matt clear for the stripes. It’s more subtle to use matt clear over the existing colour but it will change the contrast with texture. If I use matt black, it will be contrasted with both colour and texture. Another option is to put the black racing stripes on and then clear coat the whole guitar again with some flow coats of the shiny stuff, leaving colour as the only contrast. 🤨🧐🤔 

I’ll have a ponder about it over the next few days. 

What do you lot think?
