Guitar Repaint Disaster. Need help.

[GrantB]

Well, fuck, that's a bit of clearcoat.

Do you know what he's sprayed it with?

Yeah it will be either Amerthane or Caprithane. Both are 2k.

I would love to pull the frets and do it all properly but this has to go by Christmas.

It's all a big mess really. I'm so fucked

Stop typing. You should be scraping right now...through to about 2pm tomorrow non-stop.

Haha I was looking at it thinking the same thing. I think I'm going in for the scrape

[Litterick]

I had hoped it might look like a Rickenbacker fretboard. But instead it looks like something from the National Maritime Museum.

[Zaulkin]

Too much talking, not enough scraping.

Yeh, don’t fret …you’ll scrape bye

[hamo]

You've been in some tough scrapes before, but this one's really going to go down to the wire.

[Zaulkin]

If these get any worse he won't be using the razor on the guitar neck.

[dayl]

Yup, I may just scrape by.

This is going to be tedious but it looks doable

A close shave.

Beer is always there when you need to send it.

Motivation juice is on hand. Progress is being made.

Great work!

As a near-fanatical Rickenbacker player, I'd like to say WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING, THAT FRETBOARD LOOKED VERY NICE INDEED

[Jay]

There is a lot to take in...

Look closely

[GrantB]

Those marks were there prior I noticed. It’s had a tough life.

Haha yes I should have mentioned, there were already a number of nicks and scrapes prior to my attack.
