So, those that have been around a bit may recall a very striking purple flame top strat of mine. I sold it to Newc last summer and bought it back this past spring. Sadly, what was once a vivid purple flame top faded out over a few years. So when I got it back, I figured I'd just shoot some purple candy over the top and clear it. The only thing that sucked was that I didn't like the shade of purple. So I sanded it down to the wood and dyed it. Here's a video:

If you don't feel like watching, here's some before and afters....
That's when it was purty. Here's an example of the fade:
Here it is a few days ago, after the first dye application:
Here it is, sanded back:
And here it is after sanding back, then dyeing again:
I'll hit it with some sealer tomorrow and hopefully clear it this week.
Good times.
