Re: 50w Clean Only Low Plate Skyliner
Thanks David.
I really am happy with how it turned out. I could just stand and stare.
Although, I never want to use lacquer again. I think I killed 5 of the 6 braincells I had left using the stuff.
I may paint on some Volume/Tone labels with some duplicolor which is what I painted the chassis with. I may change the knobs to a lighter color as well.
In case anyone was wondering the aluminum grill is stapled all around the hole and then the baffle screwed over that which keeps it from rattling.
The amp sounds great too!

Nice looking cabs.
Just so everybody here knows, any time you spray any kind of lacquer, you really should wear an NIOSH approved respirator.
They're about $30 at Home Depot.
Nitro lacquer especially is nasty stuff to breathe.
It can cause brain damage, liver damage, lung, heart, on and on.
It can kill you from the inside out.
I have built quite a few guitars and other projects painted with nitro lacquer and or acrylic lacquer and it is really important that you protect yourself.
Lecture over.

I too agree with Tom, When I spray lacquer I always wear a respirator.
