Tobacco Sunburst

[thumb55]

I'm considering a diy sunburst using stew mac's tinted nitro.  Probably a hollow mahogany back with either a flame or birdseye maple top.

If I want the maple to stand out should I use a yellow dye or will the yellow spray tint be ok?

And just how hard is it to grain fill mahogany? What would be a good color to use on a sunburst? (grain filler)

This thread may give you some ideas. I used the same paint. I don't think there's any way you could get 'tobacco' though from stewmac's offerings. The brown is too dark for a main color. yellow-red or yellow-brown is very doable though.

that looks great! I might  go with the flat finish idea.  Is that 2 colors or 3?
