Added 3 more coats today. Coming out really well. I think it needs a 3 more coats for fuller coverage over the dark stain. Will do a few coats tomorrow morning and then let her dry all day and start dragon painting on Monday or Tuesday. Overall going really smoothly now. The color matches more of the first picture on top left. Stupid pixel phone doesn’t capture raw color.
Prepping the Epiphone SG Jr. for dragon painting. Dismantled, pulled posts using Brad Angove’s method using a small screw and then using post screw to pull post insert up. Sanded to 220 using mirka pads and horns sanded manually. Really surprised to find nice looking wood underneath. Epiphone could’ve stained this and would’ve looked nice. Added 1 coat of sanding sealer, 3 or 4 more today. Hour dry time in between coats and level sand tomorrow maybe, depending on how flat it is. WIll recreate the pickguard with 1/8″ teal transparent acrylic sheet from delvies. The amazon paints should come in soon I ordered some more metallic green posca markers from home depot, they were only $3.99. I also have the metallic purple and metallic pink, ordered teal normal posca marker also and ivory for the claws.
