  1. Thanks. Yeah, I don't necessarily need the metallic. Just the base color with a glossy finish. Unfortunately, my house doesn't have a garage or anywhere I can really spray even with a rattle can. I don't want to do it outdoors because in the past I've gotten pollen or airborne stuff in spray jobs I've done. That's why I was hoping for wipe on gloss.
  2. PS, this will be my first build, but I want to treat it like my third build. i.e. I want to try not to screw it up!
  3. I'm about to start a Telecaster-type build out of basswood. I'd like to replicate this uncommon Fender color from the late 1980s, Gun Metal Blue. I was considering painting the basswood with a dark blue-grey milk paint (3-4 coats), then finishing with Minwax Wipe-On poly (very fine sand in between coats, 800 grit or higher). Would that work? I don't have access to a spray setup. In general, I like the idea of doing everything by hand, without aerosols—and I'm hoping for a great looking finish. Also, I love the appearance of these Millimetric Instruments guitars, which I think are milk paint. Any tips?
