The headstock had some sanding sealer applied first of all where I had cut and shaped it. Followed by a first coat of clear satin lacquer.
Next, priming the body.
I wasn't sure whether to lay down the body flat and do a side at a time or to try and hang it. I went with the latter option and used an old office table up-ended and some plastic sheeting to create an L-shaped enclosure for spraying. Using an old coathanger the body then hung from the legs.
My initial coat of primer discovered the Car Plan stuff I've bought does seem quite runny. Therefore, I had some runs straight away and hand to sand them out. Here's a few pics after the sanding.
The old bit of wood you see is actually an old shelf I had lying around which I used to test the various lacquers and paints on.
So a few VERY light coats of primer should now see a good surface for getting the colour coat on.
