Doesn't look bad to me?

Did you just spray the lower horn? Is it black? That's why Jesus gave us sandpaper...

Yeah I might sand it off or leave it, not too sure. It looks alright in the pic above, but imagine a shitload of dots, because that's all the black looks like up close..

I thought that was just a shadow.

I thought it was just a bad picture, now I see it

Were you trying to sunburst it?

[JackTripper]

Is it overspray?? The back looks black. Sand it off and hit it again.....?

 

[vultures]

Back, I'm thinking about putting a binding on it.. Anyone think a binding with sunburst looks like a little too much? What colours would you suggest? Black/Pearliod/Albalone?

A spray bomb is the wrong tool for the job. What you need is a small spray gun like this http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=92126

Uhh...not trying to be a dick, but I noticed it instantly. Sand that shit off - it won't take long. I like the idea of keeping the rest black. I'm not a big fan of flame or quilt, but I think that looks good.

I love binding, but true binding would be a bear with the pointy horns on that body.
IMO I would do a tape and scrape for binding.

I do not know the proper method of doing a burst...but if I were to try, I would get a blank piece of wood and try this:

Clear laquer overall.

Black on the edges kinda like you already did, but work it in lighter towards the center and heavy on the edge, until almost the whole top was black.

Achieve the desired effect by sanding back the black 'til you just hit clear, working it back to the edge.
It would take longer, but I think you could achieve a real smooth gradient that way.

Once you got it how you like it, clear over the top of everything.

edit: I can get real high quality rattle cans, good nozzle, custom colors, etc. at cost from the auto paint man. next door to my work. If I can help out with anything, let me know.
