Clear coating a bass body

Hi all. I’ve just had a jazz body painted by a local artist. Looks ace but is unvarnished. I’ve never dared try my hand at painting or varnishing/clear coating. Any advice? Inc recommendations on product? Is it worth attempting or might it be best to try find a professional to tackle it?  Thx. Andy

I'd have a word with Bow Finishers just South of London.  Fantastically high quality work and they spray for some of the big name UK custom luthiers.  They can spray in a variety of media and will know what to use.  Prices are very reasonable for the quality.  Good luck and it would be great to see the body both pre and post clear-coat.

Had it done at a local auto body shop. 5 coats. Absolute bargain price. A fab job. Won’t be everyone’s cup of tea but it’s been in bits for a couple of years as I was getting around to getting it painted after getting it in a trade. The body was painted by Burley Banksy who has been painting murals and street art in the city for the past few years. Hope you approve
