Well it turns out that, "Aren't you supposed to be getting ready?", can't be heard over the noise of a compressor! ๐
I got the Shell Pink on yesterday before we went to the wedding.
The rear of the bass will (hopefully) be a similar colour to the wood of the deckchair, with a slight burst to hide the edges.
Part of the reason for the delay was that I was experimenting a bit.
Traditionally, in the hotrod/custom world, metalflake is applied over a black basecoat. Even what looks like a full flake job is usually about 95% coverage so the black base makes the flake 'pop' as the 'mericans like to say.
Or you use a very similar coloured metallic base and dust a coat of flake on top to get that medium sparkle look.
There's no rules but sometimes things just don't look right.
Shell Pink isn't metallic and the rose gold flake I'm using doesn't match, why make life easy. ๐
I wanted a pink base to soften the look but wasn't sure if it would look like right, but I'm happy (ish) that it'll work.
