Useless amateur Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Does any one have any recommendations for places online to buy the aforementioned guitar paint please? I know shipping this sort of thing is restricted so not sure of best place to get it from many thanks Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Hi Jon Terry Chapman of TJC Guitars did a refin on a bass for me in this colour. He no longer does refins but should be able to advise where to source the paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbird Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 The holts paint you can buy from halfords etc will do a good job it's the same stuff as most standard guitar paint is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpondonBassed Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 We owned a Vauxhall Chevette in the eighties (I know). It was Arctic White. It was a readily available colour at the motor factors then too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek99 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 (edited) If you check my jazz bass build thread that’s exactly what I used - be very careful about your choice of undercoat colour - good advice given in that thread by the folks on here. I found it on eBay - reliced up a treat @Useless amateur this was the seller https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/331769206320 although this listing is for clear laquer Edited October 10, 2020 by Geek99 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lozz196 Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Well he had but last time I saw him was a couple of years ago at least, maybe he’s started doing them again now he’s got more room at his new place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know my work are not allowed to ship aerosols. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
