Experimenting with painting

[Muppet]

I work for a technical/vocational school for high schoolers. I'm normally in the computer programming class, but I've been asked to help out a couple days a week in the auto body shop. The teacher I work with in there is super cool, and we decided to experiment with a guitar. I've had this cheap LTD EC50 body and neck, so I decided to experiment.

First, I bondo'd all the little dings and dents-

Then primer

Wet sanding

Lace, a throwback to choppers of the late '60's.

Cool!

Interested in what/why you're masking.

Edit. I should have waited for the next post.

Very cool!

The unmasking, just before the clear goes on.

And the finishing touch, a fleur di lis in honor of my wife
