Just arrived.............

Really digging that swirl. Your work looks great, and I noticed a bit of orange peel in the finish. I was curious if you plan to correct it or if there's a specific reason you've chosen to leave it as-is. I may or may not have a set of marbling paint headed my way and am very interested in what you’ve learned along the way.
 
I will take another look, but I am not seeing much orange peel. If I see any I will wet sand it out.

I learned that you should use the correct paint, water temp, test dip a few things before the guitar body, and have the right container size. Also, realize that you can steer the paint but not totally control it .
I looked again at the finish and may give it a buff with Maquires buffing compound in another month when it is super cured, but really it looks pretty good.
