    I received one yesterday. Weight wise it is 4kg on two different sets of scales. It balances fine on my 4" wide strap, no neck dive at all. The tuners are smooth in operation and have kept the bass in tune. I also have a PB50 and a JB20, the tuners on the 62 are the best of the three. Fit and finish all looks good. Set up wise, I just had to tune it.

    I messaged Blue Aran, and they suggested that there may have been some crystallisation of the paint, possibly due to time in storage or exposure to cold temperatures. Stirring the paint should remove any crystallisation.

    Have you just done a single coat? I normally do three coats but that may be because I've done painting and decorating for a living and three coats are a thing. Primer, undercoat and top coat.

     

    my first coat is just to cover and create a primed surface and I apply the paint with a brush which gets into every crevice and leaves a flatter surface. This first coat is usually very thin. Then I apply a second coat where I  keep rolling with a fine roller to get as even a coverage as possible. The paint is jelly like and stays open for at least 20mins so you can keep re-working it until there are no large bumps. I coat the whole cab then re-roll the whole cab in one go with even pressure and speed on the roller. Once this is dry I apply a much thicker layer of paint, the texture layer. Usually I use a coarse foam roller for this to give more texture but that is just my taste, I've done it with the smooth foam roller and also tufted rollers just to experiment with finish and it all works. This is where I take my time and care. The final coat needs to be done with a steady hand, a constant roller speed (I go really slowly) and even pressure. If you make a mistake and a panel looks diferent from the rest you can just flatten it with the roller and try again. I find it quite relaxing as the paint is so forgiving and you can vary the texture just by changing the pressure and roller speed.

     

    don't knock the nibs off though :) You'll get white marks!

    Thanks Phil 

     

    I did 3 coats but wasn't happy with the finish. I lightly sanded and did a 4th but still had the little bits.

     

    From your application description(thank you), to get the finish I would like I need to change how I'm applying the paint, it must have been luck I got it right on my test piece. 

     

    So the white marks are normal if you knock the nibs off, I had wondered if I'd stored the paint incorrectly and affected it.
