Here's the last one I did a couple months ago....Full resint tint top and bottom, same color, cutlaps, etc....I call it "#2 pencil yellow". Not very "fancy" or eye catching, but VERY hard to get clean, and much more satisfying when all is said and done (to me).

was that your first go at it?
It looks good!

Im thinking about doing a multi colored burst on the bottom with a cutlap deck
very lite tint on the deck
all translucent colors
pinlines on cutline

Here's a paipo done with UV poly. I masked off the bottom at the cutline, did the bottom as an inlay, trimmed it, then glassed the top and rails - trimmed at the inlay. This was followed by a second deck lam layer with wide freelaps that extended past the cutline to the bottom inlay.
