I have a Warmoth LP coming my way in the near future and I plan to paint and finish it myself. My previous experience with paint/finish has always been with solid colors, but this time I am thinking of going the dye route. I am interested in getting a finish similar to what is found on a Joe Perry Boneyard LP and am wondering if anyone has any tips on how to accomplish such a thing. My body is limba with a flame maple top. I was figuring on using a black/brown dye on the top, letting that dry, sanding it down and then going over it in a trans-amber dye? Or maybe, in an effort to get a more subtle Boneyard look, using a highly concentrated amber mix (or maybe even an orange of some kind) for the first coat, sanding that down and then adding trans-amber on top...Any tips would be appreciated.
He are some examples of the Boneyard LP:
