[quote name='Truckstop' post='1296087' date='Jul 7 2011, 03:47 PM']Here's some advice I wish I'd been given before I refinished mine: When you're spraying, make sure you're pressing down on the button as hard as it will go; otherwise, the paint will go all misty and it'll dry before it hits the bass. Very annoying! Truckstop[/quote] hi many thanks for the advise guys , all the stuff arrived paint, sanding sealer , grain filler , etc . hopefully i make a good job of this and i will put some pictures up later ( when i say later i mean around september ) im quite busy at work then going on holiday . i will put up pictures and a brief bit about how it went so it may help others .
