After sanding the sealer with 400 grit, I moved on to primer coats, colour and clear. I only used enough primer and colour so that the body was covered, as I wanted to keep the finish relatively thin.
Primer went on easy enough and about 2 or 3 coats were all that were needed to get full coverage.
I didn't sand the body at all during this stage. As I'm sure you know, nitro melts into itself so there was no need to. Once I had the primer covering the body, I began colour coats. I knew I wanted one of the Fender custom colours and something a little out of the ordinary, but it would also need to look good with the gold hardware the bass came with. So I went for....Shell Pink! As soon as I started spraying the first coat, I knew I'd made the right decision. It's really hard to get an accurate picture of it, but it looks to me like strawberry milkshake. 60's Fender goodness!
Here's the body during one of the coats. It doesn't actually look this dark at all. This was taken in the evening, but you get the idea.

Good job umcoo being a bit of a keen gardener I like the way you matched the colour to your fuschias
Nice transformation
