prowla Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 I've got an old Vox Clubman bass I bought at a car boot, which had been over-painted. I've now sanded off the paint and am ready to re-finish it. It was a dark orange/red (not sure what the colour is called) and I don't know whether to try and get that (it's still in the pickup bays) or go for another colour, either a plum/burgundy or black. But before that, what's a good primer to use on plywood? My skills are up to the level of rattle-can, but the original probably wasn't anything better anyway.

PaulThePlug Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 (edited) 'It was a dark orange/red (not sure what the colour is called)'... Rust?... 😉 I did a re-fin on a Cruiser Crafter P-a-Like...stripped the red and went with Dutch oil on what i think is a bass wood body. Just googled the body shape...white pick guard? burgandy would go nice... black would be bland - shape deserves a colour... Mustard? or go a Metalic?

prowla Posted September 21, 2020 Author Share Posted September 21, 2020 Good point about the black - it has a black pickguard (which I am also stripping the paint off!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
