Wow! 10 cans! The Lacquercaster X.
I'm starting to have doubts about a DIY flake on a mini strat body I have, but I plan on the sparkle/deft/preval route with a rutoleum purple metallic base. So hopefully I will only need 5 cans of deft ;). You are patient if nothing else. The tele looks just plain fantastic.

I used the large .015" hex flakes. I would venture a guess the smaller .008" flakes would be easier to cover in clear. Especially if using a preval unit. Buckocaster can probably give more detail as he has used both size flakes in his builds.
I figure if I take my time on this build and do it right, it will be beautiful for the rest of my life. I have my Hwy 1 Tele w/nocaster pups ready to play in the living room every night before bed so I am in no hurry to finish. I pretty much own all of the major Fender and Gibson models so I have plenty of diversity in my quiver. Now if I can figure out how to play
