Dig it! lets see those rattle can finishes (also some tips on how to)

This is an old 70's Harmony strat copy that I re-fin'd about 6-7 years ago. The body is just a simple alder body that was blonde finish. I stripped it (sanded it off) then sprayed it with a Walmart enamel equivalent of Daphne blue, light sanding between about five coats. Then I rag-rolled sterling silver metallic craft paint over that, let dry, gave another light sand and started spraying finish sealers over, fine sanding with finer grits between each spray. Then I used Macguire's polish and swirl remover to buff it to a shine.

The neck is what is great about this old guitar. Has the worn in feel of a real 50s or 60s strat so I rounded the headstock off to match close to a real strat and added a custom logo of my own on it. It has GFS greybottom PUs in it now. I kept all of the original guard, knobs, and switch tip cause I like that they have aged.

I always like that finish.
