What is the best way to reproduce a Gibson faded type finish at home?

[Wonker]

I’ve asked this before but I just want to get more feedback. I recently bought a faded cherry Gibson V and I want to refinish it in white with a Gibson faded type finish. This was the V that I was going to just tung oil but I’ve decided to go balls deep on this one.

What is the best way to reproduce a Gibson faded type finish at home?

I don’t have a spray booth or a gun I’m going to use the Preval Spray Unit that stewmac sells and this will be the first refinish I’ve tried.

This is going to be my between spring and summer semester project and will have just about 4 weeks to do it in. I need to order everything ASAP so I have it in two weeks to start. I plan on doing a big, picture intensive thread on this build.

Is this what I need to do it other than all the supplemental supplies like sandpaper and steel wool?
