refinishing

You'd be much better trading your bass for one the colour you want. Refinishing only makes sense when the original finish is so badly worn that there's more wood showing than finish.

I am refinishing this because it's the only way forward (practically none of the original finish remains and you can't get these basses any more) :



I would not refinish a bass just because you're bored of the colour. If you're bored of the bass, trade it or sell it and buy a new one.

If you want it painted then either a auto spray shop or a place that paints kitchen cupboards with a hard bake finish that what I would recommend. Take off all of the hardware.
If you want a DIY the suff the body with fine wet & dry paper , this make new paint grip to old paint . Clean with thinners / turps dry & then I recommend a rattle can paint out side on a clam warm day. If you cannt have this make the room warm with heaters, With auto shops they use heaters or a oven to get the product warm & to bake the paint. Paint takes better when its warm ie room temp
If you use auto touch up paint you will have to undercoat it as this paint is very thin & darker coulors will show up. If you never used a rattle can the get some timmber to try on. With paint rember several thin coats are better than 1 thick coat.
