I sanded most of the paint off the back of the body, but this was only one layer of emulsion thick. The front has at least two layers of emulsion. Inside the 'horns' is going to be tricky too.
And not forgetting Gav's doodle in permanent marker.
These scratches were underneath the emulsion; they might even have been underneath the tobacco sunburst finish.
I put the bridge with its seized up saddles into a bath of release agent. I'll leave it overnight. Hopefully it will dissolve some of the emulsion and the various other crap too.
Nasty rusty stuff. The Union flag must have been painted in crimson acrylic paint because that's what's embedded in the lettering on the bridge saddles and on the springs and bolts. This is never going to be like new, but it's got to look better than this.
