Hybrid finish?
Posted: Wed Jun 09, 2021 2:08 am
Hi friends
Doing my first build from a kit and I have a question on finishing.
I wanted to clear coat with Tru-oil as I don't have a sprayer and this finish seems easy to apply from what I've read. But I've been talking to a decal provider and he says water slide decals on Tru-oil isn't great.
I'm wondering if I can nitro the headstock face to help the decal and then use Tru-oil everywhere else. I have a small tin of nitro that I could brush on in light coats just for the face of the headstock. As this is finished in black and the rest of the neck is natural I'm thinking it won't 'shout' that it is different.
Any thoughts from those who know?
Thanks
