mojobass Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 (edited) thought I'd move the original post i put in the repairs etc section to here! Basically, I bought a washburn status recently that had been resprayed black! not a erfect job but presentable nevertheless. Anyhow when i got it I could see some 'green' through the worn parts of the black finish in places so i thought... 'I wonder if the original green finish lies beneath?' Anyhow after a little investigation it appeared that it might be intact underneath! before: [attachment=105539:IMGP0018.JPG] after a little investigation: [attachment=105540:IMGP0011.JPG] A little further sanding: [attachment=105541:IMGP0013.JPG] after a few hours work: [attachment=105543:IMGP0021.JPG][attachment=105544:IMGP0026.JPG] Obviously the gloss laquer has been lost due to the sanding/refinish so i'm left with a 'flat matt' finish at the minute. Still got a LOT of work to do and aint lookin forward to doing the front but I reckon it'll be worth it in the end!!

mojobass Posted April 21, 2012 Author Share Posted April 21, 2012 well after a few more hours work, used nitro mors - carefully!!! and sanding to reveal the original finish in all its glory!!!... still got a bit of work to do I need to take care of the black centre section as you can see in the pics, theres black paint and primer still to remove but i got bored!!! will leave that for another day. Very pleased with how its turned out, think i'll leave it as matt finish and just wax/buff it a few more times!
