REFINISHES

Here is my progress

It PPG base coat / clear coat
 
My Peavey Fury that I picked up at a pawnshop, a fantastic player. Refinished it two different shades of fine metallic blue! (The inlays are painted on, shhh :ninja: )

I never buffed the clearcoat, so It's inbetween gloss and satin, with some uneveness...But I plan on playing it enough to wear the finish in. The only other flaw is a big drip on the back of the left horn that left marks in the clear. Oh well, It's the back! Pretty good for a newb.
