So tonight, I actually "got to the city" and was able to hit a store with a fine collection of Krylon "No Runs, No Drips, No Errors!®" spray paint.

Being the quick thinker I am, I said "Maybe I can find the color coat for the Buttercaster."

Found a can of both #1806 Sun Yellow Gloss and #3538 Bright Idea.

Wahooo!

Bright Idea is on the left, and probably what I will go with. Sun Yellow Gloss is probably too intense. I am looking for a nice pastel along the lines of the Lavendercaster and Surfocaster.

Wood is on the way (or will be real soon.)

I'm starting to think that tortishell binding and pickguard would look REAL nice, but the rest of them have white binding and guard. Decisions, decisions.

This will be fun. With luck I will put router bit to wood sometime next week.

I'll try to keep everybody up-to-date as this scintillating project takes place.
