reading this thread I noticed that when you guys were talking about having problems with Krylon there was absolutely no mention of sanding between coats. I have been using Krylon and similar spray enamels for years without any problems, but then I was a custom painter for years and learned that you ALWAYS wet sand between coats to ensure - not only good coverage - good adhesion. This is especially true when spraying a clear coat as it tends to be slippery-er than most color coats.Thats why it gets its gloss. If you continue to apply coat after coat without sanding then - yeah - your going to have problems.
wow what a coincidence look at the guitars paint job at about 36 or 37 seconds in.

No coincidence my friend!
From the original post:
"The nose as I write this already has the "Van Halen" design on it and is painted hot pink. All I have to do tonight and add some more tape lines and paint over it flat black. So when I pull the tape up it will match the pink and white under lines. Yes I did line up the lines coming off the top of the body tube to match the nose. I even keep the same pattern on the shoulder."
Honestly pretty much anyone who had MTV in the 1980s would know this was a copped Van Halen design Glad you recognized though!
