Supro Dual-Tone body refinish

The paint on the body I got was really horrible, so I sanded that off and ordered some spraycans of Olympic White nitrocellulose. Really nasty stuff, gotta watch out you don't inhale to much of it!
I went for nitro paint because it turns slightly yellow over time and the original plastic coat was too hard to track down, couldn't have gotten it right...

 Nasty red! Yikes...

Nitrocellulose primer

 I decided to paint the body like the old Fender's were done... Less drips and stuff. Much nicer result!

As you can see I used nails to prevent the top from sticking to the table when it was still wet. No worries! Used existing holes, didn't make new ones.

Next up: the hardware!
