Wudtone aged vintage yellow neck kit - pics?

PVO_Dave

Anyone got any decent pictures of this neck finish?

The tiny headstock picture doesn't really give much away

Hi there, when you are on the product http://www.wudtone.com/shop/?wpsc-product=finishing-kit-for-neck-aged-vintage-yellow click the thumbnail and you should be a bigger pic as below. Here are a couple of others.  A couple of tint coats gives a nice warm aged yellow look but keep going with more and it will darken ever so slightly with each coat.  I use a rag to apply really thin ( and make sure there is no excess) , with a brush only used to get the finish right into the edge/corner of the frets / maple on a maple board. ( and again make sure no excess is left on)  Many thanks

 kind regards

Thanks Andy - Looks good, think that's the one I'l go for

I like it, but it's quite deep and dark - I actually mixed some with the non tinted one, 50/50, to get a more subtle effect that I preferred, but my prs style one is just the tinted one and looks cracking.

@ThePrettyDamned - if you have any shots of both, that'd be helpful

If you find my flying v build thread from last Xmas you will see a before and after of it.

That looks fairly light @speshul91 compared to what TPD said above? (I like it though), that's the aged one right?

If so, how many colour coats roughly?

That was 2 coats bud.

Went for it, first colour coat on just now. Stopped for a pic after doing the headstock to give an indication of before / after.

That's really nice- have a Wow.

Could be just the job for the next wee project I have in mind.

Second colour coat done on Sunday, third (and most likely final) to go on tonight

Happy with that, will leave for a few days and start applying the clear, details/pictures of that when the build thread is started.
