Edit: also, just because lots of people like the past, doesn't mean we shouldn't try to do better

In reality they know anyone who isn't a guitarist, so 99% of people who will ever see their guitar, will assume it's vintage and they like that.
My brother (a painter) would be ashamed of me.
Not talking about really cheap guitars under 200 quid, I mean ones that are seen as quality like, say, a 500 quid Fender.

This forum is actually great for having a select few that can be trusted as pretty much fact and also has a generally very high standard of poster anyway.

Do you know if standard Mexican Fenders are more likely to have a thicker finish than standard American Fenders; or if solid colour finishes are more likely to have a thicker finish than translucent/burst finishes?
I have a Mexican solid coloured body and an American burst body and the latter's finish seems to be quite a lot thinner but it could be for either of those reasons or just luck.
The thickness of a finish not only comes down to the material being sprayed but the painter too. Once a coloured base coat goes onto a 4 piece body it’s all hidden. But a heavy handed sprayer can make all the difference between a “normal” thickness of finish and a very thick finish.

Makes it look so effortless but it's clear that if I tried it it would be incredibly difficult, take days and end up only worthy of the bin.

I prefer vintage spec’d nitro guitars for all the usual irrational reasons, and yes I like the idea that my guitar appears vintage, however I’ve no interest in trying to fool other people. If I'm honest the only person I’m really trying to kid is myself, but the pleasure I get from owning and playing them is absolutely real, sorry you don’t seem to approve of that.
