I have a friend with a Squire bass, and he wants a design painted on it. We don't want to strip off the factory black finish, but to paint the design on top of the finish. Any thoughts? I'm a professional furniture maker, but I've never tackled a guitar before.
Painting A Design Over The Factory Finish
in Inlays and Finishing Chat
Posted
Thanks. I can use auto body paint. I painted a couple of cars way back in high school and early college back when I was building hot rods. They looked OK. I was thinking of something less invasive. I was hoping there might be a way to keep the factory finish without having to do the whole body. Sort of like pin striping over a car's finish. I think I'm just going to paint the pick guard with the design and leave the finish alone since it's not scuffed up or damaged. I may paint another one someday.
