This is my project which is a San Dimas style body.I grain filled,S&S,primered applied the base coat with all instrument grade nitrocellulose paint,applied the bullseye painted then removed and the paint lines look pretty darn good I think.Iv'e applied 9 coats of clear so far.What do you guys think? http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b84/olabaus/refin3.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b84/olabaus/refin4.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b84/olabaus/bully2.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b84/olabaus/bully1.jpg Edited May 17, 2006 by Maiden69 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olabaus Posted May 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 (edited) Thanks guys for the comments.Im going to wait 3 months before clearcoating and after i wetsand I will then route for the single volume.Yes a maple necks going on this and I already have one being custom made.I dont have a spraybooth yet just the outdoors and I hung it in the bathroom to take picks.The bullseye took forever. A while back I bought a book showing how to do a bullseye and I used a protractor but the middle ring was done with a bottle cap and I basicly winged the measurements from there. Yes my hair is silky smooth and the duck is my 2 yr old boys.Wonder what Ive gotten myself into joing this forum lol!!

Mickguard Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Sorry guys I fixed it. As long as you're using photobucket -- check off the photos you want to include, then go to the bottom of the page and hit the 'generate html' etc button. That will take you to a new page where you have links for clickable thumbnails --with those you don't have to worry about the size of the pics. They take up no bandwidth so you can put several in a post. And people can have a look right away at the photo --they only have to click if they really want to see the larger photo. Why wait three months for the clearcoat? Do the color coats take that long to dry? Looks pretty great so far though --I actually thought the clear coats were already done! As for the hair thing...those shampoos are loaded with chemicals that have the effect of drying out your skin, destroying your hair and basically making it all dependent on continued use of the shampoo ...kind of like lip balm. Read the ingredients on those things, that'll put you off. I just use olive oil-based soap (Alep soap)--no chemicals, and my normally very oily hair never gets that greasy feeling anymore. Takes a few days for that. Can't help with the rubber duck. Though in a couple of years, he'll be taking baths with Batman and Spiderman.
