Hi ya folks. Finally a nice clear dry day so I applied some clear coat on my guitar.
As a general rule, is it possible for the color to get muted after clear coat? I did some trans amber first, but because the alder was pretty red, the color came out with a pretty strong orange hue. Today after the clear, the color is now somewhat muted, giving it a nice amber tone. Just like an aged headstock. Maybe it's just the light, but I always thought that a clear coat will make the color pop, just like when you wet any object.
Now, would you guys consider this as orange peel? This is the back contour of a strat. Kind of liking the texture, but I also think it'll get flat as the finish dries.
