OK my Peavey Milestone (see my post in the porn thread) has finally had its trip to the chop shop. I've defretted the neck ( at the filled and ready to sand stage) and decided that I may as well attack the body while they were seperate. Its originally a dark blue translucent finish and after stripping half the body down with Nitromoors I find I'm down to a rather nice looking stained blue wood finish. Now it may not be to everybodies taste (taste isnt a word that most people associate with me) but I like it.
Now the question is where do I go from here ? I had originally planned a respray in a glitter finish but now I'm inclined to try and keep the look its has, so what laquer/wax finish would people recommend. Some sort of satin finish I think but how to do it ?

You can do a lot worse than start here with the Reranch 101 web pages - a lot of practical info on finishing guitars using different chemistries, lacquers, varnish, oil, etc. It is a huge subject, and you may also want to read through some of the Project Guitar forum posts on refinishing.
