On recommendation from my supplier, I forgo the use of EM1000 sealer and shoot all my colour coats with tinted EM6000. That has been successful for me...

Using a quality gun makes all the difference..here is a good video for those who haven't seen it

I followed this sequence using very light coats gradually building the brown first followed by amber then red....lightly scuffing the center between the brown coats to remove over spray...not the best of pictures though..

Looking good, Wes! Glad you found a process that works! One of my current commissions just signed up for a burst, so looks like I will be shooting another later this year.

The two cutaways are commission builds, and he wanted bursts..the L-00 is one I built a couple of years ago, I didn't like the finish so I sanded it down to the wood and used it for practice...
