Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Good to be back @Russ - I'm just hoping that I can stick to "I've started, so I'll finish". It was good r&r yesterday. First time I've managed to do anything guitar-building related for many a m...

Posted by: @bpower My daughter was sitting beside me while I was scrolling down looking at the paint job. She kept saying... ohhhh.... pretty. 🙂 Oh.. and she loves the purple. At the end she ...

Posted by: @tv101 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 i...

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 d...

So, it wasn’t going to work. 😔 I soaked shop towels in thinner (reducer) and wiped all the candy off (purple and gold), right back to the blank canvas of the flake again. Attachment : 7BD...

I tried to wipe off some of the gold from the purple but I just rubbed all the way through to the silver flake (sealed with clear coat, obviously). Attachment : A4A18786-B36A-46F1-8438-8DF0DFAB03...

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 effe...

Ok, time for the gold candy. Looks ok doesn’t it? Not exactly. Attachment : 3C9666F9-AC5A-4BB0-9D19-71361B85E701.jpeg Attachment : 0349C8E1-182A-492F-8CE6-B18D4E315D0C.jpeg

I offered up the scratch plate and thought it looked ok. 👍 Attachment : 555C5BF1-925A-4EA4-B6BC-1D216BA773BB.jpeg Attachment : 12AE6922-0AF7-4DFB-B833-C7EB7CDCDC66.jpeg Attac...

All was going well, so it was time to unmask. Attachment : 7B813B43-CCB8-42E3-AC2D-B3711CF52151.jpeg Attachment : 0707C9D0-9CED-4CBB-A267-28D86A66BF6A.jpeg

I wasn’t quite happy with the masking on the top, not swirly enough, so I adjusted it a bit. I then got some purple on there. Coincidentally, the name of this candy purple is, Purple Haze. 💜 ...

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...
