Painting a bass?

Is it possible to do a paint job to a bass?

Look at that Yamaha thread and see what he found under the paint.

Heres a link that someone posted for redoing your bass

Here's my shell pink bass

 

I bought an SX, stripped it and painted it shell pink. I go through all the steps. It's really not that hard.

 

But you've got to watch out for sanding through, paint runs, etc... But it is something just about anybody could do.

Nice work buddy! I might try that...

 

I'm not ready do buy another bass because I just bought my first bass 2 months ago and it's an Ibanez Artcore so I will not out any paint on it...but I really want a Les Paul and Epiphone got their new one at only 250$ but the bass is 90% black so I would like to buy one and change the colour...

I painted it the same color as my shirt.

Sure it is - I've painted a few... One of my favorite paint schemes is to use Rustoleum Black Textured paint on the body, and Krylon Ultra Flat Balck on the pickguard - gives a cool, unique look to a bass for under $10... Also, that type of finish wears well, and is easy to touch up, should the need arise...
