Re: Fender XII '66 hockystock neck restoration
We're getting somewhere now.
I didn't document the process, but after I sand sealed the neck, I airbrushed some semi-opaque tint in the areas where there were joins.
I then sprayed over the whole headstock with amber tint. Mixing in a bit of brown. The colour match is pretty good.
tomorrow, I'll cut the clear coat back down and spray a few more coats of gloss and it's done.

Amazing work, all those puzzling pieces have been blended together like it was a deliberated work of geometric art!
Bravo? Nope.
BRAVISSIMO!

Jaw to the floor. Amazing skills, thanks for sharing the journey 
I have nothing to offer anybody, except my own confusion?

Thank you, all!
Here's a few more pics, after a few more coats of clear.
I need to let it cure for a bit.
