I'm considering painting my Bongo's pickup covers white (if that's any indication what color pickguard I ended up choosing). Has anyone ever painted the pickup covers? Can they be taken off the pickups or will I have to mask? Should I use my airbrush with enamels or Krylon Fuzion?

I airbrush plastic models all the time, and am confident in my airbrushing and/or spray painting skills. I was just curious as to whether anyone has tried this before and could give me some advice. I know I'll have to prime and clear (dull) coat it several times.

P.S. If by chance I can order them in white, please tell me now! haha

The covers on SR4's come off, but those on SR5s are glued in place. I don't know about the Bongo or Big Al.

I was able to buy a white cover for my SR4; contact EBMM customer support.

Here are before & after photos:
