The guitar is presently black. I was hoping to get away with keying the surface, priming then colour then lacquer.
Obviously if it does have to be completely stripped back I will.
This is it as of now

I am filling the single coil routing & trem cavity with timber & altering it to an H/H configuration & swapping the trem for a string thru body & fixed bridge.
Just deliberating on the guitar colour now & depending on that the hardware colour.
Pups are likely to be an Irongear Hot Slag & Rolling Mills set in black or zebra.
Might do the guitar in a garish neon colour as Mrs baldy won"t let me hang another guitar in the living room so it will be living in my back bedroom when not being played.
Any idea where I can get the larger Yamaha head stock decal than it has now ?
This one
You can sand and go straight to colour, then clear. One thing with overspraying is any dinks & scratches show the old colour through loud & clear.
1k rattle-can primer has no magic properties and it's redundant if yr putting colour over an existing paint base. Though one use is in a strong colour change, say going from black to yellow. A white primer saves needing tons of yellow to get colour.
This paint isn't designed for building up, it cracks & crazes if you lay too many coats so don't go too mad with the clear.
The decal, if you're OK with an image editor there's prob something that can be re-made from a web image. Re-tracing or altering. Like I made a Gretsch logo based on an image but altered it, Gretsch kept changing it over time. Then do the decal paper thing (laser's better than inkjet if you can get to one).
