The paint is Dupli-color Auto Spray-CDS GM 244 (color :GM cream)

The copper paper is for shielding..

Next : waiting for some hardware then rebuilding ..

nice job .now to relic that p.g. its to white:D

Yeah! Should i start smokin again to get that vintage look on the p.g..
Any tricks here..

I have opted for the white p.g. for the 60 s look and i found that it highlights the color of the body ..

Pretty please with the result..

Nice job Blaze I like the colour choice. I also like the fact that you put it back to the stock looking pickup set. What does she sound like.

Sounds nice & big .. Z..(Dimarzio PU):AOK:
