Painting a natural MM Stingray 3 EQ

[CHUPE]

What's the best way to paint a natural MM Stingray 3 EQ (just body and maybe headstock)?

Paint it only in your dreams and leave the bass alone.

I can't tell you how many fine basses I have seen ruined with amateur paint jobs. Since you are asking about the best way to paint the bass, I believe you do not have a good understanding of what it takes to refinish an instrument.

Please, do yourself a favor and leave the bass alone.

+1 i tried it on a cheap bass once and it's much harder than it sounds, i'd never touch an expensive bass with a lick of paint.

Paint It??.........NO!!!!


Unless the finish is absolutely ruined/scratched/flat, leave it natch! If you want a coloured one, BUY one.....IMHO.

Or trade it...natural ones are natural for a reason...THEY LOOK GOOD!

EBMM picks the best wood for the naturals...best grain, nicest single pieces, best matchup of two pieces. But seriously, if you want to do it, get a professional to refinish it.
