Refinishing a 2008 Warwick - expensive or affordable?

[WarwickE36]

The Fender guys pay extra for that. I'd leave it and wear it as a badge of honor... a testiment to the hours you've used it. Cheers!

I’d probably leave it myself. But if I was gonna do a refin, Pat Wilkins would be my guy, unless I wanted sparkle, Then Marty Bell is the man. I wanna say if you send Pat the body a regular ol’ solid color is like $300ish, I think burst and stuff get up to about $600, of course the sky is the limit. Things may be more now, everything is creeping up. I’m sure you have some great local guys in nashville too. Expect to leave it for at least a month, because the paint needs to cure and harden. Whatever you choose, best of luck!

I've decided to keep it as is and keep playing the fool out of it. Thank you for all the comments. You guys/gals are awesome - and very helpful. Sai Bai Dee NaaKoph! (Thank you very much!)

Good move, you could polish/buff it up a bit if it really bugs you.
Heck you could even make it all matte if you wanted.

Nothing wrong with real honest wear in my world.

Good decision. All that wear tells the story of you and the bass ... and now you can keep the story going!
