|  | Registered User | | | | | What color should I paint this bass?
I was thinking about metallic green or sea foam green. Maybe antique white. 
I'm undecided on the knobs. Either chrome or black.

I'd vote for black against a dark or medium color and chrome against a light color.

As for the knobs; Black knobs with purple body, chrome knobs with orange body, and either black or chrome knobs with green body

| | Registered User | | | | I should have stated that I have a black and a red bass, The headstock has a Marvin the Martian vibe so that's why I'm leaning towards green. The metallic green is futuristic but the sea foam green and antique white has that retro feel. 
Staining is out. It's a three piece body; plus I've already primed it.

| | | | If you've got that "Marvin the Martian" thing workin'......may I suggest PPG Vibrance paint....Key Lime!
But! Hold onto your wallet!....This stuff will run you @$200 for a half pint of base color and 1/2 pint of the candy......Great color with all black hardware and DR Black Beauty strings. |
