What sort of mask do you recommend?
Rattle cans may be good for a first timer actually! I suspect I'll probably try those, and go for a nice blue colour.

Now some people swear by T-Cut. There are numerous fine compounds by Farecla, the finest of which still doesnt do as good a job as this,

Works very well indeed and will work down to a very fine glossy finish. Elbow grease required, but you dont need to go above 2000grit with the wet and dry.
And I would go with rattle cans first time. I tried mixing my own and ended up with crazed lacquer, twice. Too much thinners I think, maybe in too much of a hurry to build up the coats. Let every coat dry really well before buidling up with another,
It is immediately obvious that there is a bit of an art form to it. But I really want to do it, I'll probably search for a boo boo or guitar build bass body and start there.
Cheers Rob, talking of which, how far are you along getting me the next one?
