Mitch, I will have to wake the dead since we are 3000 miles apart.

On a side note. In thinking over repainting the RR3 V into an orange or other color scheme, I am not sure how things will look with the black scratch plate and black Floyd etc.. I have to see some other Jackson V's in stock non plain colors. Here are some good ones.

Six, I have been studying some great videos on custom painting. I am thinking, I may take the simplistic approach with this RR3 since it has asymmetrical points and the scratch plate.
I may start by doing the repair in Black like Jtcnj mentioned, and can always change it later after I perfect my painting skills on some sacrificial projects like a Squier Strat Starcaster body I have.

If I do change the black, I think I will go basic but stunning Orange Metal Flake,, a cool Green I did a snare drum in, or Silver Metal Flake like the Orange I already mentioned. What I see happening is I will need to bang it out and be done with it and playable within a week or so, or then drag things out for months on end as I hone my skills in flames etc and finally do it once I am skilled enough.

The skills of this guy are what I am after. I really love the outcome in the 2nd video here. If I do black, I can always Orange flame it up later.

Thank you, Chili!! Looking forward to seeing what arcane designation I'll be bestowed by the Wise Council Of TTR Elders... and Boo, of course!

I think the "apply as you learn" gradual approach that you mention is the most sensible approach... Have a functional guitar that gets upgraded gradually until you get it to the ultimate point you want. Makes sense and keeps the interest going...
 
Well, guys, and gals, I have actually been busy stripping my V of the Pups, Floyd, Control covers etc and am now fabbing up covers for all the cavities so I can mask them off properly for sanding, and spraying the new paint.

Looks like it is a go as soon as I get my supplies ready and get the body imperfections all sanded out and the paint decision nailed down.
