... I kinda liked that Black Widow kinda look...

So do I but getting the black part to look good has been a pain with the paint I got from stumac and to do it right would mean getting more of something I deem not good [I have rattle canned a lot of stuff and never had the result be SO textured from the paint not leveling out as it dries] also the whole project is going to change back to the original idea which was a bassVI/bari.

OK, I don't question the Mudfuzz. Everything the Mudfuzz builds looks like gold teeth to me. I'm sure it'll come out looking the sparkling best.

[Mudfuzz]

ahhh

Dude, Mudfuzz, do me a favor. When your done with that beast, run it through the gnarliest fuzz you have and give us a demo. I wanna hear that baby howl.

never mind on the refinish.... I just needed to buff it out.. and I've had the stuff to do it here sitting right here the whole time so orange pin stripes are a go... but still thinking about bass VI or baritoning it

do you heat up the cans before you spray? I've had good results with running the hot water in the sink into a container I have the cans in about half way. it warms up the paint nicely and I think it goes on way better.

I will try this. things are changing about what I was going to do… Bass VI/baritoning it after all, and going flat black.
Today: hole filling [epoxy and wood dust]

[Achtane]

What kinda epoxy do you use, anyway?
Also...do you happen know if acetone will dissolve a nitro finish?

Cheap crap for this… locktight I think, if you want good stuff for repairs use west system, stuff is awesome!
I hate acetone that orange shit is the shit, it'll remove powder coat.. which I found out the hard way… which is why I repainted my muff clone… this stuff..

[Achtane]

Citristrip though, really? I tried it twice on a table and it did almost nothing to the varnish...
Maybe it was some kinda special finish or something, I dunno.

I didn't think it would work but it has on a few things so far you have to cake the living shit out of it and get a wire brush to do instrument finishes You can used evil chemicals if you want, I don't like to anymore.

update and shit
first coat flat black. I am happy with it considering I am treating this as a primer coat and will be doing some filling and smoothing before more coats…
