Just finished refinishing my Jagmaster.

Just finished refinishing my Jagmaster.

It was sunburst, now it's 'ford ivory' It still looks a little 'satin' so I'll give it a good old polish up in a day or to....it's just regular 'halfords' car paint, but it came out ok I think.

Looks quite Vista-esque, I like it!*

*except for the GFS split coils. Don't feel bad, I don't like Lee Ranaldo's Jazzblasters either. :)

Lookin' good. ET FTW.
If you think of god as a pair of pants, a spiritualist thinks he needs pants, in fact he wants pants but none of the conventional types of pants seem to fit just right, so he makes his own pants and is happy that his knees are no longer cold.-fibus

I seriously would have done that, but I don't know if I can get a replacement decal?

if someone can point me to where I can get one, I'll do it. :)
