Good job. Get an air brush and remember when trying to match paint keep it simple and be patient...test your color, brown guitar you need burnt umber, a pin head at a time indian yellow that's a semi opaque yellow that's more orange than standard and some white very small amount a pinhead of read medium and test, always remember your sample is wet and that makes it look darker so test it will lighten up. The yellow is because paint yellows as it ages so very little when you dab a little on your guitar it should appear darker if it's lighter darker it test and while it's drying seal and keep in refrigerator when you have it take your airbrush and lightly add color until it's uniform then back off, less is better, let dry over night fill your airbrush with recommended clear lightly coat 1 coat next go a little further out on the second same on the third and every coat to come let dry over night turtle buffing compound very fine stuff and gently with a clean old t-shirt buff first add some cotton balls in the center of your 5×5" rag twist it to form a 25 cent surface and ease into it and when it's not noticeable stop go shopping forget about it. People have this thing in their brains that trying to perfect the job don't period when it's good it's good over working sets you up for a more complicated fix. I'm Zombiwolf and I approve this advice.
Unless you had the exact finish available, I think the black color is good. My thought was refinish the entire headstock but then you are dealing with the preservation of the label.
Thanks for the comment. I probably should of painted the whole lot. I have actually been considering using some car wrap and doing the whole back of the neck and headstock just to see how it would look!
Encouraging and realistic.
Thanks for the comment!
Thank you Australia I appreciate what you've done.
Thanks for this update! I watched the first one and was wondering if it’d last.
Him: a cheap guitar at £200 me: WHAT

Im going to do this im going to just get vinyl wrap on head stock so it looks better
Great job. But why not paint whole headstock black.
