Sign in to disble this ad
Hi
at school i am building a couple bass guitars....all up 4 maybe more

anyway i remember someone saying once that you really shouldnt use spraypaint to finish off a bass, so what is recommended to use if i just wanted a solid black finish?

seemed like a good place to put this.

www.mimf.com has some excellent information on finishes.

Black Dupont Automobile Laquer applied with an HVLP can yield excellent results.
