Spray job in Suffolk

[W1_Pro]

Evening all,

I have a stripped P bass body that I need spraying in tobacco sunburst.

Does anyone know of a handy chap/ette in east anglia who could help?

I know some of the more talented (or reckless) among us would suggest doing it myself, but I am deeply hopeless at that sort of thing. 

Best left to a pro, I fancy.

Any and all help much appreciated.

Here's my response to another post:

Try both and tell them I sent you.

Suffolk's a big place! Colin Fulton in Little Glemham, north of Ipswich, would be one person to consider.

Anyone got any other names?

You could also talk to Steve at Guitar Lodge in Felixstowe. I didn't realise it, but he advertises refinishes. I've used him for setups and a mandolin neck repair, he's a really capable guy and very pleasant to deal with.

Well, one of the chaps said he didn't have a spray booth at the mo (just moved apparently- so totally fair enough) and the other didn't reply to my messages, which was a bit boring.

Still, to paraphrase the always relevant David St Hubbins, in the hurly burly world of rock n' roll, these things happen...;0)

Cheers Pete. I'm on it!

I’d strongly recommend Bow Finishing in Surrey - specialist finishers that work for some top UK luthiers. They did some difficult refin work for me and the results were remarkable. Friendly, professional, realistic prices and will ship. You could send the body over very cheaply. https://www.bowfinishing.co.uk/contact/

The workshop number is: 01883744391

Good luck
