I've shelved this project for some time already: 1) I'm in no mode to revive any instruments that require extensive attention 2) I'm trying to avoid using spray paint in the mean time as it causes unrest at home due to its odour.
I just got bored & depressed lately so this is a good distraction. With reference to the pic above, sometimes, we shouldn't trust a seller's fret life assessment too much because his ultimate objective is to sell away something he dislikes in the mean time. Sugar-coating some wear or damages might happen. The seller told me this guitar has a good 90% fret life left in it but in reality, I would only give it a 75% rating. So many uneven frets & some areas were manifesting dents which were not disclosed to begin with.
Spent quite some time today levelling, dressing & re-crowning some frets. I skipped the afternoon coffee break along the way just to attend to this. Let's see if it's a worthy endeavour.
To be continued...
