Here's a new body I finished using automotive urethane throughout. I painted the whole thing in a new and improved DIY spray booth:

I've got a Warmoth Goncalo Alves neck for it... almost done assembling...

Out of the box:

I grained filled with Timbermate water-based filler (since this is an Alder body it doesn't really need filling, I just wanted to practice using the filler):

I used SprayMax 2K clear as a sealer:

SprayMax 2K primer:

I wanted to have black "fake" binding so I painted the edges black using Alsa paints with the Preval Sprayer:

Taped the edges and painted it red where I want to put some racing stripes:

Painted the whole body gray then removed the tape:

Clear coated using SprayMax 2K clear then fine sanded with 600, 800, 1000, and 1500 grit-wet:

After buffing (you can see the wrinkles of the plastic sheeting reflected in the body):

Thanks in advance for your comments...
 
very very cool, and nice paint job.  :headbang1: That's an interesting body (looks nonwarmoth). Where did you get it?
 
Thanks... It's an Ibanez RG replacement body I got from Legacy One Guitars http://www.theguitarboard.com/. Since I'm putting a Floyd Rose "PRO" in it, he was cool and used a 3/8 inch bit to drill the tremolo stud holes...

Dude, that is like The A-Team van of guitars. Pure badass!
That's a perfect name for it! I used to watch that show all the time when I was a kid. Thanks man! :headbang:
