Members bluehuricane Posted July 17, 2012 Members Share Posted July 17, 2012 just the first coat, i had to sand out some runs and it's too dark to finish now so i'll do it tomorrow but i have a neck that i'll paint the headstock to match. the flash of the camera made the color quite different from rl but i'm super stoked after another can and a half: still a little thin in a few places but i'll touch it up today. i have glitter spray sealer i'll use but i think i'll end up using something else when i finish this one can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TravvyBear Posted July 17, 2012 Members Share Posted July 17, 2012 I'd put a mint guard on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lou Speed Posted July 17, 2012 Members Share Posted July 17, 2012 Black pearl would probably look good. Red tort maybe? Red tort looks awesome with shell pink. Might look good on yours. It's really hard to say what will look good without seeing it on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members V Posted July 17, 2012 Members Share Posted July 17, 2012 I'd say no tort or pearl. You already have a busy texture in the sparkle and another different busy texture would clash with it. Sort of like wearing plaid and paisley at the same time. I'd go with a solid color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 100 dollar cars Posted July 17, 2012 Members Share Posted July 17, 2012 i just did my strat up in orange sparkle, headcap and all. yours looks pretty good so far...you should've taped up that neck pocket, though.. i'd say something green might look decent with pink sparkle.

Will be great to see the finished product on a nice sunny day. MY mind is also thinking of a parchment or nice and shiny mother-of-toilet guard!

Yup, it would be too loud. Clean it up with a solid color. Like a mint green. the greenest mint green you can find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Mint green might look okay, or black - I do think a solid color is a better idea than a tort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TravvyBear Posted July 17, 2012 Members Share Posted July 17, 2012 A blue anodized pickguard might look cool too. Dunno where to find one though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
