MIKe5 Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 (edited) I bought a good quality semi-acoustic bass off ebay lovely quality and everything...except its a horrible colour.Ive researched and it seems sanding,paint stripping etc is for solid bodies;im worried,as its fully acoustic,that i may damage the wood as it is not very thick.It has a very plastic finish to it that seems quite thick... would paint stripper work? or should i jus sand it? appreciate any suggestions...

jammy Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 I'd take a well sharpened scraper to it, then some fine sanding once the majority of the finish is gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotgoalie11565 Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Dollar bills seem to work well for me. Seriously, is the finish nitro or poly? If it's nitro you should be able to use a milder chemical like Zip Strip. But if it's poly you've got a hell of a job on your hands. You may have to use several different methods to get from point a to point b. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
