This paint job is bloody spectacular!
Hey all ... I couldn't resist the urge to pile on the praise, so I joined OSG *just* to give Copacetic their props for the amazing paint work. I had high expectations, but the work exceeded even those expectations and I couldn't be happier. I'll definitely be back for future refins, that's for sure!

Another "small flake " job with a LARGE amount of sparkle from carefully choosing a metallic basecoat. The closet clean relic with finish checking just puts it over the top imo![]()

Oh, plus ... I'm not sure this ever gets discussed here, but I want to add an extra heaping spoonful of praise for the reassembly/setup job Copacetic did on my guitar. I assumed I'd have to tweak it when the guitar came back because I'm picky (pun intended) but right off the truck, this is the best setup anybody has ever done on one of my guitars ... and this dude doesn't even know me or how I play. I changed NOTHING, not even the pickup height! Well worth the extra $$ for reassembly/setup (it wasn't a lot, btw, no more than my local tech charges).
If I find the money I'm going to get Alex to paint the most outrageous purple sparkle Mustang for my daughter.electric__ralph wrote: ↑Mon May 13, 2024 4:42 pmYeah, I'm thinking I need something sparkly in my life as well. That big flake one from last page does look great.
This made my whole week!! So glad to hear the feedback on the setup! People usually spend so much time talking about how much they love the look of my work, i sometimes wonder if all the setup work i do goes unnoticed. Thanks and welcome to the forums Wes!chiba wrote: ↑Mon May 13, 2024 5:56 amHey all ...
