First step was to remove the hardware and sand off the finish from the headstock, then mask the sides and the neck to protect from the spray paint.
Having sanded in the kitchen and made a heck of a mess I decided I should retire to the garage for the next steps. Unfortunately all is not as slick as it seems : when looked at closely the paint shows up terrible sanding marks. My slap-dash preparation make it look quite bad. Ever the lazy oik I have decided to allow this coat to dry fully before rubbing back a bit and trying to build up layers, although I suspect I may end up starting again on the headstock finish. We'll see . . .
