Hero Sandwich?
I did the neck and assembled it all. All premium parts.
It's gorgeous. I'm sorry your buyer flaked and that you didn't get to keep it.
Yes sir.
Looking at these pics makes me want to get him to paint me another body soon.

Ok, so I am interested in jazzing up a Squier finish to maybe a sparkle glitter, or considering using a color shift paint.
I plan to rattle-can the project and I will be happy with the results.
Watched a lot of videos on this, but pretty good doing the basics on other things.
Does anyone have experience using the Krylon color shift or the Rustoleum vs?
Either of these 2 colors appeals to me.
For glitter project I would prefer this awesome " coke bottle green" but can't find the paint in spray.
Someday I will invest in a spray gun.

The "coke bottle green" flake is actually the Sea Foam Green flake from TCP Global, but you're right, it's not available in a spray can. Have you checked out the Rattle Bomb products from Roth Metal Flake? You can get some really good options there: https://rothmetalflake.com/pages/rattle-bombs

What absolutely beautiful guitars!
They look so pristine!
No scratches or anything.
Don’t you guys play them, or are they wall art?

This ape is ROUGH on guitars, but they still look pretty dang good. The latest Sparkly Guitar(tm):

Here is a follow-up post of my completed sparkle paint job.
Thanks to Herosandwich for the suggestions on the Roth Rattle Bomb products.
I used Custard Pie with additional Kandy.
It's awesome!
And no matter how well I try to photograph it or video, it just doesn't capture the depth.
I am officially in the sparkle gang!

Here's a Texas Toast Challenger in Silver Metalflake that I painted and built recently. It's not necessarily surfy, but it is shiny. and it has a Trem.

That looks beautifully done. How did you do that (steps, materials) if you don't mind me asking.

Thought I would chime in with a few of my sparklies!
A Dano Hodad, Oktober custom, and Gretsch 5230.
The Gretsch used to be black, and I bought a can of holoflake glitter from Michael's and buried it in clearcoat. Took forever for that sucker to dry!

So I have to post it here for the archives!
My recent conversion of a Squire CV in FSR blue sparkle.
I converted to all traditional wiring, CTS pots, resistors and pickups.
