I finally pulled the trigger on having my Primer Dominion re-finished and couldn't resist posting a preview. Marty Bell was great to work with and managed to give me exactly the finish I had pictured in my mind.
The inspiration was the "Amethyst Black" paint from McLaren:
And here's the result:
As on the McLaren, it looks almost black until the light catches it and you see a rich purple with some shimmer to it. The previous satin silver hardware is being swapped to black and the bridge pickup is being swapped to either a Duncan Custom or DiMarzio Dominion, either of which is hotter and more focused than the 59. Lastly, Dave/Budman is doing a new truss cover with just the Jackson "J" as on the Sweetone series since the new finish covers the headstock logo. I can't wait to get it all together!

I did think about purple pups, but decided to stick with black to keep the focus on the finish. Aside from that, the pearl in this paint can appear blue/burple/purple depending on the lighting.
