Frankdemariany Posted July 14, 2022 Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 (edited) Hello Everyone, I'm FINALLY getting to my rebuild with my oldest daughter. This was an Epi Special in Black. It was sanded down and I started the process to paint it TV Yellow. I'm not a "handy" guy at all so I was looking forward to the challenge. Per the pics, I'm pleased with the body and I'm thinking once the gloss is on, it will look nice. The neck on the other hand I am concerned about...lol. Some of the TV Yellow got to the top of the fretboard. Any ideas and/or tips to try and make that look a little nicer? Thank you all for the feedback!

A million light passes rather than one single gouge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADFinlayson Posted July 14, 2022 Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 In Dr Nitro's youtube videos, he holds a ruler up to the fretboard and runs is razor down the fretboard side to scape the binding/fretboard edge evenly without having to work around the frets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankdemariany Posted July 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2022 I tried the razor but was getting not far. Someone suggested an orange paint remover gel? Not sure if anyone had thoughts on that. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
