    Powering amp on with powerbar

    What paint to use?

    Hi basstalk, I have a bass I’m refinishing I picked it up for next to nothing so I don’t want to spend a ton, the bass has quite a few large chips that need to be filled first. Wondering what paint I should use and how to fill the chips? do I need to remove the red paint?
