I sanded off the finish I made.
I'd previously found Tamiya had a pearl orange lacquer that I liked, but apparently in the past few years they've changed the tint a fair amount. A waste of time and money.
So my next adventure is to try another drip, using clear lacquer and a couple of specific mica pearl pigments.
This is maybe my favorite style of finish, because each guitar painted this way is as unique as a transparent wood finish. It almost has a "metallic grain" effect, depending on how you do it. Each one is unique, and has a bit of natural chaos to it that holds attention IMO.
But it's super finicky and tricky. I've done a silver based one before that came out ok - but using Rustoleum silvers. Which has made be brazen enough to try it again, but with lacquer and the actual pigments I want.
