Hi my friend gave me his 5-7 year old samick electronic bass guitar a few months ago. its lyk 7 lears old so I decided it needed a paint job. I think I will use shades of two colours, Im 90% sure i wont mess it up beause I was pretty good at art back in high school. but I dunno what paint / glaze i should use. any other tips would be thankful. Btw Im just painting the front of the top part of the guitar, called the 'head' if any of you muititalented ppl know oh and the head is aleady glazed. and umm i think i would be better to put a layer of glaze over the paint i will apply, but i dont know what kind. it (glaze) has to be kinda weather proof, splashproof, (easy), permanent, must not crack or dent easily etc. and the paint should be smooth with minimum brush marks. oh and should I use a sponge instead of a brush?
detailed answers please, I tolerate web slang and spelling mistakes.


thanks in advance!!
 
the best method is to sand away all existing paint, re seal the wood if needed. Then mask or remove electronics/the neck/hardware and paint the guitar with quality spray paint or an airbrush.
