So, if it starts out “as glittery as heck”, what’s the equivalent term for when it’s fully glittered??

@tv101 “Glittery as a disco glitter ball” ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

That’s pretty darn glittery!

@mattbeels Damn it Matt, sorry I’ve still not replied to your email. I’m easily distracted when it comes to guitars, I forget to........ oh look, a squirrel 🐿 🎸✨ I’ll call this one Glitter Squirrel

I believe it would be “glittery as feck!”

Practice on scrap...

I went a bit OTT but it’s gonna look better when I take the pin striping off and get some clear on it, then it will come alive. I cannot capture the effect of it on camera, it’s just not picking it up properly, they are not doing it justice. As this is a practice session and the first time I have ever used these paints and techniques, I’m fairly happy so far.

Glam.  Glam.  Glam.

 

Love it Boo!

 

Given where you are, at least until you move, I reckon you could setup doing spray jobs for Blackpool hen parties ... How does the paint react to human skin?

@tv101 I’ve actually been watching videos of face painting with airbrushes and special paint for human skin, it’s interesting. I’ve also been looking at cake decorating using food safe paints for airbrush. There are loads of applications for airbrushing. I always wanted to try it when I was a paint sprayer but never got around to it. I wouldn’t use this paint on human skin, it’s not nice stuff. It does look good on guitars though. ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨🎸😁

Spectacular result. When you move to Scotland I think a custom paint business would do very well, just don't paint the Union Flag anywhere. Perhaps video courses in custom painting would work and sell subscriptions in the same way that Mark does.

Some people call me a tool, others are less complimentary. Tools being useful things.

@rocknroller912 Thanks. Yeah that’s a very good idea, I might just do that, I can’t find any online so I’m making it up as I go along and from watching YouTube videos. There is a great airbrushing school in Belfast that looks amazing that I would love to visit one day. 

And...... I wouldn’t paint the union flag anywhere in any country, so no need to worry about that. I completely respect Scotland and Scottish values. 💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 In fact, the only flag I would paint in Scotland is The Saltire 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 I’m not painting any flags or anything political, it’s done enough damage in recent times. 👍

Quick Update ✨✨✨✨🎸

 

Ive just unmasked the pin striping and covered it in clear base coat which will protect it whilst I do the back.
