Body Repaint

[Shabba!!]

What is the best paint for re painting an old bass body? Does car paint work? as if it did i thought it would give a good metalic effect

Unless you know how to spray lacquer and have the proper equipment I'd stay away from painting.

Alot depends on the professional quality you are after. If you are looking for a pretty good job with a few minor flaws, any paint will do as long as you prepare the surface correctly. It is just like refinishing furnature or something. Lacqured finishes need to be only scuffed with 320 grit sand paper to be able to take on another color. Wal-Mart $1 per can paint does a good job and comes in some pretty funky colors. If you want a professional flawless finish, have a professional do it. I think it comes down to a very easy rule - You get what you pay for.

Go to this sight and read refinishing 101 if you want to do a nice refinish. Be prepared to spend some time on prep and sanding.
