Horn Repair

before you primed did you take it all back down to wood or just prime over top of the old paint? Looks really good, nice repair.
Thanks. I just sanded the original finish so the primer would adhere. Completely removing the old finish is a PAIN.
Got the clear done. I didn't lay as smooth as I wanted but it won't take much get it smoothed out. It was 105 here today and I didn't have any clear reducer.

Thanks. Well, right now I'm disgusted. I was doing the final buffing and I accidentally touched a tool laying on the work bench with the edge of the buffing pad and it grabbed it and dragged it across the front of the guitar. So now I get to start all over.
Got the clear done AGAIN. Sprayed better today because of the cooler temperatures. I decided to finish a MIM P-bass body in the same pewter. Buffing tomorrow, more carefully, hopefully that will finish them up.
Done! Thanks for all the help guys. It turned out great. I won't hesitate to pull out the rasps and start shaping if I need to now.
Nice job. I like the color.
I feel your pain with the buffing incident. Last time i dropped a screw and it landed square in the middle.
Post pics of the P bass as well.

Thanks. The P-Bass body is going on craigslist after buffing. I don't have any hardware for it, just the original broken, warped neck. All the hardware was accidentally thrown out. I will post a pic once it's buffed though.
