And thanks usetobe.
John: access to a spray booth, spray guns and the fact that I was an aircraft painter for 22 years has helped. The oly white is poly too. I was reassembling after 12 hours. It's cured rock hard.

However I'm at an unfair advantage completely when you say I work quickly. What helps (for example) is that we used to have to chemically paint strip 10 coats of chemical resistant poly off a red arrow (wearing full butyl rubber suits) in two days flat before the days of plastic media stripping! And you wonder how I get done so quickly....The painting part is just a pleasure.
This latest exercise does leave me wanting though. I desperately want to find a very beat up, cheap US Tele and nitro it the old fashioned way, with sander sealer and cellulose basecoat that will wear in an old fashioned manner.
That day will come, but in the meantime, I love my old Goldstar. The pickups rule. Now it feels good too.
Cheers.
Seriously well done.
I was talking to someone at an aircraft respray operation quite recently. What they don't tell you, and what makes it all the more impressive, is that the paint has to be so perfectly sprayed that the aircraft can't be unbalanced by a ridiculously small amount (I forget, but it's in single figures of Lbs) at either end, so the accuracy has to be phenomenal.
Good work that man - looks great

ICBM I've discussed that with Mr D himself. He's a nice fella. Work related.

ICBM, sadly no. I just often find myself in the same office as him.
