Coat of many colours. . .

First Coat

Second Coat

Third Coat


. . . I've sprayed three coats of tinted lacquer on the neck so far and its looking a bit better. Still finding it hard to get a uniform coat because of the wind problem. I'm going to look into constructing some sort of indoor tent using bin bags or newspaper so I can spray the body inside or totally empty the shed and try doing it in there. Problem in the shed is there a canny bit of dust in there and even if a few particles get in a coat then it means a bit of extra work sanding it out at the end.

I got a few dust specks in the finish already which I'll try and wet sand it out before I T-Cut it.

Im a bit worried Im going to run out of the tinted lacquer. This is the one that is going to colour the body butterscotch, the other can is white blonde so its the tinted lacquer that I'll probably need more of.

The plan now is to leave the neck for the time being and crack on with the body and if I have any left after I finish the body then I'll possible spray another coat on the neck.
