Thats what I would have said. Its a dipped process something like we used to do to easter eggs. Just a larger scale.

I think the real question should be, why would you want an airplane painted like that?
Paint schemes for aircraft normally should enhance the lines if the plane. Les McDonald said the scheme on his Stilettos were to enhance the straight lines of square manouvers. Random patterns like that guitar body just would make the model confusing. Fine for a guitar or a pair of bell bottom pants for a retro 60's disco party, but not for a SV 11 or a Bad News or a Thunder Gazer.

Now just have to figure how to get my wing in there.

It's really possible to dip a wing or other parts but you would have to give this some thought.
If you cut the hinge openings after the dip it could work.
If you dip the wing you could do half at a time and stay away from the root.
You could tape the LO opening and WB
Do the stab and elevator plus flaps by themselves before cutting the hinge openings. Or, keep them a solid color.
The fuselage could be a solid color with a bit of trim to compliment all that "dip s h i t." LL~
I had to go there. ;D
I'm not one who would tell someone to not experiment with something different. Ideas are great! I have mine, well, mine get punished, LL~ LL~ LL~ and you have yours, go for it!
In all honesty, I think this medium has possibilities, especially with the tapes available today.
You can always mask off areas where this dip s h i t isn't wanted or you can mask and paint around it leaving only what you like. A lot or just a little.
An outlined pin stripe could be a great segway into a solid color.
I have nothing in the works for this medium or I would give it a shot.
Keep the idea and make the attempt. Don't be discouraged with negativity.
I'm all for it!!

Other than the risk of it being a rally heavy finish, if I could I would, Certainly would not be lost among the masses at the appearance judging. #^

No reason for it to be any heavier than traditional finishes - probably lighter in fact. It's only a 'film' of paint on water's surface, so in effect microns thick.

Maybe you can do it like microfilm? Float the dope on water, pull it out with a frame and drape it.

Al Rabe might disagree :)

Saw this on eBay and wondered how you do it.
Hey I just noticed, that Strat body has a back-routed control cavity. Pretty sweet.
