Thinking it would be cool to make it like aged raw wood with some metal rusted look. with this idea, just find a Bocote neck with wood grain to match on 20% off Screamin' Deals, so I order it.

One PS design idea, need test to find out is the rusted effect paint can achieve this
作者: Hendrix 時間: 2017-7-25 22:06
rusted effect test, as Roasted Ash can turn quite a dark brown, I mainly use a dark brown wood for teasing, but also with some light colors wood.
Test with black iron / brown red copper/ golden copper
Add chemical rusted catalyst.
After chemical rusted catalyst.

after more sanding. 打磨之後
Paint base coat of wood finish ， 上透明底漆
After it dry, applying black iron paste ， 底漆乾後，上鐵鏽反應黑漿
After black iron paste dry, sanding it flat 鐵鏽反應黑漿乾後，在打磨平
Add chemical rusted catalyst. 再上生鏽催化液
After chemical rusted catalyst working and dry. 生鏽反應完乾後
more hand selection sanding ， 再細微的位置打磨一下，更有多手模的地方被磨花做舊的感覺。
applying final matte satin finish。最後的啞光保護漆
After final matte satin finish 上完啞光保護漆後深色了些。

作者: Hendrix 時間: 2018-4-10 22:45
Knobs I going for the first one, as the silver and brown color match up the whole looks.
Next step is needed traces back all the black line washed out by aging Pick guard chemicals
Then sanding the hardware prepared for rusty relic look.
