I think that Tele hanging in the first photo is quite unique!

I think the first pic of the "Tele" hanging was a lot clearer!

Things are moving right along, now that the hurricanes have decided to take a rest. Looking forward to the finished project.

Just a tip here, Jason:
You will find that your gun sprays much better if you remove the regulator mounted to the gun. This assumes, of course, that the compressor you're using has a regulator mounted to it. The double regulation impedes the flow of air and screws up your atomization. You only need one regulator.
Here's what I'd recommend: Pipe your air from the compressor to a suitable place on your booth wall, using Sched 40 PVC piping. This stuff glues together and will hold 120 PSI all day long with no problems. at the point from which you plug in your gun hoses, mount a combination water trap/regulator unit just at your takeoff point That way you can get full air flow and still adjust your pressure on the fly.

Finished the trans tangerine pearl, then sanded back down to wood to start fresh, redid it in natural finish with a pearlcoat. It's ready for final sand/buff, then I'll take some pics! Cheers, J

I will take and post pics once we've done the final buff. No need to post orange peel and risk people thinking our work looks like that finished. Perhaps on the next piece I'll do more of a step by step photo journal, so people can see, and make it clear it's in progress.
