The finish is working out pretty well considering I had to go all the way down to 180 between the second and third clearcoat applications. Managed to do it with no sand thrus. Had that happened it would have been back to square one.
I think I put on way more metal flake than I needed to. It should be a lot easier next time, not to mention cheaper. Live and learn!
Clear over CAR over flake over black:
Sanded 180, 240, 320, 400.
Final coats of clear, about 15 in all.
Gets color sanded and buffed next week.
Trussrod cover on buffed headstock. Nice to have one that does something!
Flies to Switzerland when it's done for June 13th first gig.
