Seriously reduced the paint has me worried. If you are over reducing the basecoat you are asking for adhesion problems. I sanded with 600 and used properly reduced dupont black basecoat. After getting a good base over reducing for art is not a big deal but I am working on a fresh base that promotes good adhesion. I sometimes use bulldog or dupont midcoat adhesion promoter before the base coat on factory clear or base that is out of window.

Thanks fo rthe great comments everyone.

came out very nice great job

WOW! amazing job! but yeah, the neck looks a little out of place. needs to be nice ebony neck...that would be the icing on that cake.
