'had a request for a yellow or gold finish on an electric uke but when I was playing with it the colours just seamed to plain. I won't cover up the natural grains and figure of a wood no matter what but then I got to thinking about metallic finishes and whether one could apply it and still see the wood figure below. I haven't tested with a sprayed version yet but after dying the wood a yellow darkening out to gold on the edges I mixed some embossing powder pigment (gold fleck) into nitro and brushed it on. this is a vid of a uke in progress showing just one coat. (Huge brush stroke still present) I think I like it- what do you all think? BTW- the colour availability of embossing pigments is impressive. I bought a pack which had 16 different colours.
