Model 6A update

[Budman68]

<font color="aqua">Ok its been awhile since this has been done so I thought I'd show some recent pics of the fill job that Mark (mm2002) did.

Original thread: Budman's Neon PINK Model 6A !!!

I'm happy to say that it has not moved at all! The evercoat filler and Marks application seems to work very well. Now I have to admit, it's not like I'm carting it all around with me and it's not subjected to extreme temps either, but I'm very happy with the results. Thanks again Mark, you're the man!

Here are some pics too, take note of how weird the paint looks on the full shots of the body, it's like the overcast day had a strange reaction with the neon pink paint. As you can see, the closeups are the actual color of the paint.

Very cool... if you're into that color, and only one pickup, and Kahlers. [img]/images/graemlins/fart.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] LOL Nice job! [img]/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img]

Re: Model 6A update

Thanks for posting this Dave. Your guitar was the first I tried this method on. I think it's a go! Also something that should be noted, this is a base/clear system using House of Kolor neon base and the Dupont Nason high solids urethane clear. I have since found a clear that's a much better product to work with. I've also tried a new "color sanding" system from 3M that will put "wet-sanding" in the dark ages! I'll try to do a separate post on my new findings.

Re: Model 6A update

Great stuff Dave and Mark. It looks very smooth, and nonexistent (like it should). The color really varies on the full body shots versus the close ups..if I hadn't seen the original thread I would think it was a orange/pink...

Re: Model 6A update

Holy sheeeeot! That looks awesome guy's. Dave you did a great job on that fretboard. And Mark I may need to send you a PM about some finish stuff. But you can blame Dave. He told me your the man for any finish job.

Maybe right, but you'd sound kick ass, be damn well made, and look like a million bucks!

<font color="aqua"> As always, thanks so much for the words guy and gals [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] , Mark did a great job and has come up with a great way to hide those cavities. No more trips to the dentist! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] ( Iknow, that was weak, but it's friggin early... [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img])

I would also love to know more about the new clear you'll be using too, Mark! [img]/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img] </font> </font>
