Custom T "Hot Rod Flame" Sparkle Finish

I have one just like this for sale #178 Shipping extra.

Here is my most popular custom painted body designs. Hot Rod Flames over super sparkle silver metalflake really come alive under the lights! This paint looks a mile deep with it's multiple coats of clear Poly topcoat and transparent candy apple colors and really sparkles! It is color sanded flat and polished to an ultra high gloss that is mirror smooth and looks like polished glass. Pictures cannot do this paint job justice. Because of it's brilliance Metalflake is very hard to photograph. Please excuse the flash any subtle distortions in the pictures- these are just reflections. Neck and hardware in photo's are not included. This paint job is like the most custom chopper you have ever seen and is guaranteed to turn heads.

This is a NEW custom painted Alder body patterned from a vintage '69. The neck pocket is a standard 2-3/16 wide at the base so Tele replacement type necks and standard necks that are 2-3/16"at the heel should work fine. All routes, bridge and wiring holes are drilled. Buyer must drill holes for control plate (and clear pickguard if you decide to use one). String ferrule holes are 5/16". This BODY is MADE IN THE USA by ME and painted in the USA by Me.

It is very time consuming to make and paint a body like this. There are nearly 20 hours making the body and painting it. Once I finished making the body I apply a sealer coat which is sanded once dry. Then I start with a silver base followed with layers of metalflake over the entire body. Several coats are applied then a thick clear coat over the top because alot will be sanded off to get it perfectly flat. After sanding the clear coat flat, the The flames are laid out, masked off and airbrushed in various candy apple colors. Once the design is set, it is painted by a clear coat and will sit several days. Once cured it is completely sanded and then given the final Polyester clear coat. Once it has cured it is completely sanded flat starting with a 600 grit wet sandpaper and and then progressively sanded with finer grits until I finally reace the stage of a 2500 grit wet sanding. After this it goes through several stages of polishing until it looks a mile deep and shines like polished glass.
