Painted my Custom Shop '65 RI

[Molly]

Shit man, nice job!

Naaaaa. That was wasn't that nice a job. Suited the age of the guitar though (not 'new new' plastic looking).

Done a few now. This one's the latest:

Ok, THAT is a nice job. Man I'd love to re-paint one of mine like that... that finish is amazing. Did you pick up some how-to somewhere (here?) or did you just keep doing it yourself?

I just watched this series of videos.

Also grew up around this sort of stuff (cars mainly) so had a bit of an idea.

Nice, cheers for the link that could come in pretty handy!

Thought about Olympic white actually. Had a list of genuine '65 colours to choose from. Even shell pink was a contender.

Looks good dude, I reckon the 60's colours are the best. Currently have major GAS for an olympic white 62 ri, but it's a tough call given the options. At any rate, thank god it no longer looks like the first pic.
