Members Renfield Posted July 23, 2008 Members Share Posted July 23, 2008 {censored} dude, nice work on the paint. I suck at it, I have a few unfinished basses because I just lack the skills to make them look decent in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Renfield Posted July 24, 2008 Members Share Posted July 24, 2008 Sexy. You know what it needs now... 2 diagonal GT racing stripes in black at the back bout where your forearm rests. Did you paint right over the original paint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you paint right over the original paint? how bout black stripes with a really fine white pinstripe edge? and yeah, I painted over the original, I just spot sanded the dings, then scuff sanded the whole thing to give the new paint something to stick to.

Moderators ThudMaker Posted July 24, 2008 Moderators Share Posted July 24, 2008 and one more for now... his and hers Awesome. How about some white racing stripes on the green bass? one stripe a bit wider than the other. Whether you do or not that bass is still dead sexy. Love the green color. I bet the picks don't do the metal flake justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
