Alright! Done with the picture uploading. The main link is here:

Examples:
SRV Replica. Check out how thin the paint is and the use of coloured dyes.
1970s Fender Stratocaster Refinished Sunburst. This was an old refinish done in the early 1990s. The customer requested for nitrocellulose finish instead of the default Poly finish hence the dullness. Look at how nicely the red fades to yellow.
Monterey Stratocaster Replica. Painted by hand.
Custom Painted Stratocaster. This is by far my favourite out of all the finishing jobs. This was handpainted from scratch to replicate an actual Fender Custom Shop piece. That particular design was one of the custom shop exclusives featured in the Fender Catalog in the early 2000s. This took a few months to complete though.
Newspaper Stratocaster. I have no idea how this was done but it looks good!
Fender Jazz Bass. Custom sprayed to sparkly purple but the pictures can't do this guitar justice. A few dings and dongs here because this was done a year before for a gigging musician.
2 finished necks. The white one is sprayed trans white while the other neck was sprayed to look old hence the darker finish.
Took a few just for previewing sake. Comments? I personally feel these are extremely well done. You have to view them in person to believe.
