I am so close I can taste victory.
I used the Dewalt random orbital sander today with 320 grit paper to smooth down the exaggerated orange peal finish.
After 3 coats I hit it again with the Dewalt.
Here she is after 2 more coats of Deft.
If you look close you can see the pock marks where I had to dig out the sky blue flakes that got on her. I decided to wait on the blue one until I was done spraying the fuschia Tele.

The sparkles are really vivid and very alive in the body like they were in the headstock now.

Here's how smooth it is and the pock marks and everything....

Just another day and I might be done with the body....If'n ya can digg!
