Why should only reso's have Duco (ish) finishes?! Here's a nice Tele I got from Ken on the forum. Had a bit of a ding on the back which wasn't a problem but I thought I'd fix it anyway. In for a penny, I thought maybe a non traditional finish might look nice, and we all love Duco don't we, so why not! Put on some MM 15's electrics and job done! Hope you approve Ken. Best wishes to you all, John   |

Hi Snakey, thanks for the compliment. 😊👍🎸
It's not so much the paint as it is working it while it's drying.
Preparation is as you would for any paint job a good key for the next coat and keeping everything clean. As mentioned I had repaired a small damaged area so I was originally going to repaint to match the factory finish. But I then thought there's enough black Teles in the world but not many gold duco ish ones!
I have done a post on the forum under charity shop Duolian describing paint techniques but will be happy to repost here for anyone interested. Or pm me.
Best wishes to you all, John
