Hi
Several years ago I bought a gsp basses junior body. I've just painted it and its taken me years to get this far and to be honest I'm just not sure where I've ended up! I've had about three goes at doing a tv yellow finish which have ranged from hi-viz green to tv orange...So, I decided to do it lake placid/pelham blue. Being me, I couldnt just leave it alone so I decided to age it...then I decided to make it look like an aged LPB refin over TV yellow...
So, the massive question that I flip fop around is, does it look any good or is it complete trash and should I strip it and start again?
I wondered if you guys might kindly give your views? Does it look shite? Be honest.
Cheers
Will

It may not be to everyone's taste, but it looks to be a good job. Some carefully relic'd hardware could make it an absolute corker.
give it some aged hardware and a dark tort plate and it will look great.

I see what you mean about the spitfire/mustang camo thing. The weird thing is that in the flesh it doesnt look like it does on the pics. The tint sort of blends a bit more and adds more of a sheen than a separate colour.
I will get the wet and dry out again tomorrow and see if I can tone done the tint a bit. Or maybe take all the blue off and do a very,very worn tv yellow. By this time tomorrow it'll robably back to bare wood!:)
I'm not even convinced about actually fitting it out but I guess I should really
cheers all

I like TV yellow so personally I'd prefer it just yellow, but what you've done looks pretty convincingly like an old worn blue refin - and even if it doesn't, it's a pleasing effect in itself.
