NoClue220 Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Here's the deal... I want to refinish by boyfriend's bass for christmas but don't know where to start or how much this is going to cost. He's already got the neck and body taken apart and the body sanded... what kind of paint would I use? If anyone can give me a direction to move I'd really appreciate it Girlfriend without a clue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Start with what you want it to look like. Main thing is the quality of the finish on the wood (sanding basically) is what determines the quality of the end finish. Oil is the easiest, start with a smooth sanding, and a danish oil finish goes on easy, might not be done by Christmas though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 [url="http://reranch.com/101.htm"]Guitar ReRanch[/url] is pretty much the best site I've come across for info on stripping and repainting an instrument. They've got a [url="http://www.reranch.com/reranch/"]forum[/url] as well which is very useful and worth skimming through for tips and any questions that might not be covered in the 101 section. Time and patience are requisites for doing a good job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassatnight Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 I have often thought about having a refinsh job done, I personally would pay for it to get done by a pro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
