Thought I shoulod take a few photos of what I am up to. as some of you know I am spraying my first sunburst. coming out pretty nice, allthough I still have a few coats of nitro left to spray until she´s reaqdy to sit for a few weeks until buffing out. [:Y:] .

Do let me know what you all think as this is my first.
Personally I like it a lot. I started to spray and was gonna make a small outer line but it didn+t appealo to me so I continued and this larger burst was what came out. I had the rosette taped but did a little bursting on that to after I took of the tape to make it more unison.

VERY nice, Lars.
It looks old, and Gibson-esque...just right.

I normally am not all that fond of burst but this is beginning to change. Yours looks really good! The colors are just right! Cool end graft and I'd love to see a close up of the purfling and such. But I'm sure finished pics will be up soon enough eh!?

Great work. Personally though, I can't decide if I think the opaque part is too "thick" or not.

I think the photos are a bit on the dark side, in reality the "darkness" is a bit lighter than what it seem.

will post some shots once it´s done.
