Geek99 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 (edited) does anyone know a good resprayer/refinisher in the midlands? I have a CIJ 62 Ri jazz bass that I bought from OldGit and I wondered how much to restore its 3 colour sunburst glory. I'm happy to strip it down/sand it back to save money. Also does anyone know if its cellulose paint or not? Edited October 3, 2008 by Geek99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon's moved to a mystery location Woth giving him a call though .. other luthier's and specialist painters and restorers are available (have to say that or people shout) I havn't had anything built by them though ...

It seems to me that this is a potentially cheap way of getting a respray if you're prepared to do the errrr... preparation. Especially as the current economic climate probably means places will be more likely to consider jobs they might not have thought of before.
