Okay, since the body is basically ready for paint, I guess I can talk about it.
It is bound in white with Red, White, & Blue checkerboards. Neck and headstock too.
The plan, and we all know how long plans hold up when the rubber hits the road, the plan is to take some 0.015" silver flake, and mix in about 5% each of red, blue, and holographic. Maybe even more than 5% holographic. I will have to make a test run.
If my mental image is right, it should look okay.
Maybe not quite so much red and blue. Just enough to be apparent. Too much and it will just turn into mud.
Or something like that!
Thanks for the input guys.
