On guitars I prefer to see the wood grain. For that I want to try spirit dye.

Throughout I was wondering whether I could use oil paint pigment to colour Osmo for a guitar body. I tried dilute (low pigment) mixes on scrap wood. None of them gave the translucence that come from alcohol based stain. Oil paints are designed to be opaque, and I was hoping for transparency in small quantities. Maybe my technique was wrong, but I concluded was that it wouldn’t suit my purposes.
Now or if I were decorating Clapton’s Fool ...
Did you get any pics of it with just the honey pass ?
Sorry about the delay in replying but ive been all kinds of ill over the new year,went to the docs with a chest infection came home with Oz flu....
No i didnt take pics of the honey, didn't even register. To be fair there was not much difference but just enough to tip it over to a more richer colour I was hoping for.
They did send - by mistake - a silver and a black sachet as well. Was thinking of using one of them on the fret board to make it look worn but them I thought of the effort of reversing it If it looked naff and didn't bother!

Looks great.
Sorry I am no expert and this is far from text book stuff but it works. I am not into perfect, shiny guitars i like a bit of wear and tear. The played look
Artists paints range from transparent to opaque. The tubes (and maker's web sites) should indicate what a particular pigment is - they're generally classed as transparent, semi-transparent, semi-opaque, and opaque. Most paints can be made more transparent when reduced with oil or a suitable painting medium (so a nominally opaque colour can be pushed towards semi-opaque, or further).
Also need to be aware of toxicity - some paints are definitely not suitable for kids toys.
