1)First I sanded the headstock back to wood by hand so I didnt lose the contours of the neck. I used a really rough to start with and once I had removed the sanding sealer I used really fine wet and dry.
2)Next I masked the sides as I only wanted the top black and the rest blonde. I deliberatly left about a 5mm gap all round so that the spray paint would go over the sides slightly.
3) I bought a can of Halfords grey car primer and sprayed on two coats.
4) I then lightly sanded this with the fine wet and dry paper.
5) I then sprayed on the black (also halfords but this time gloss). I then gave it another coat before sanding with wet and dry.
6) Once I had sufficeint layers of black and it was even I removed the masking tape.
7) Using a new craft knife I scraped the 5mm over hang at the edges so that it was flush with the top.
8) I also re-sanded the sides to make sure they were clean from paint.
9) I the sprayed 1 coat of gloss lacquer (again halfords car paint)and wet and dry again
10) another coat of lacquer
11) clear lacquer the rest fo the neck.
..and hey presto!!!!!!!
