Yeah, that's my Fat Squier Tele with a neck exchanged from a Squier 51.
What I do is get a smooth level series of passes accumulated in Deft gloss clear over the existing stock finish, then I gently overspray or spritz the tinted Behlen's in the general direction of the neck. The idea is the tinted nitro hits the clear nitro as mist, incorporates in as mist, and never beads up or creates freckles like you likely would get shooting the tint directly onto a raw or poly or other non-nitro base. Even so, plenty of test spritzing to avoid spattering is recommended. It is much easier to get too much as opposed to too little. I can do at least 5-6 maple necks with one single can of Behlen's, while each neck requires most of a can of Deft depending on how lean you want the coating. Make sure you can lay a good bit of clear over the tint, so you don't have any blow through when you buff it down. Maybe 35 percent of the clear goes on before the tint, 65 percent after the tint is even. Less is more.
You can use a layer of clear Bullseye dewaxed rattle can shellac over the sanded USA CG neck, to act as a buffer between the CA glue holding in the frets, and the Deft clear nitro. Just the thinnest film is enough, IMO.
