That looks awesome Boo. @julian Thank you! I can’t wait to use these paints on a full guitar spray job, I have several pearl colours.

That looks awesome Boo.

@boo Rustoleum plastic primer, Duplicolor wimbeldon white and Colortone TV yellow

Yes, the primer is key. I turned a black P-90 cover to cream color and sealed it with lacquer. @clinton Excellent, what paint products did you use?
