De-pinked p-bass

Before and after.... Decided my Elderly East German Marlin might like to match the others... Seemed a bit odd to try and make her look new though, so i went for a 'relic' look...

Before:

Attacked the 'original' paint with an iron(!) to get the previous 30-od years of resprays off. When i got it, it was red, under red was silver, under that was the original black.

Sanded some more, and then re-painted with a sample pot of off-white emulsion from Wilko! Sanded some more, clear coat, T-cut, and done!

Looks good (though I do like the "original" colour).

Top work, Op!

Nice one. The "relic" looks quite genuine. Good work.
