I had a pretty eventful day. Here's what went down.

I'd been planning on painting my bass for a long time...though not on my own which ended up being the case.

I stripped the gloss off so that its a flat black that I could paint over. My friend did the painting. He used latex based spray paint which I was kind of apprehensive about but i didn't realize what he was using until it was too late to stop him.

The first coat ended up being uneven so we scraped it off with paint thinner and our fingernails. Not all of it came out. Now its flat black with splotches of yellow.

We're going to paint it tomorrow and make sure its even this time. Is it worth even trying or did I screw up my favorite Jazz beyond repair?

It'll be unique. Kinda gives you a reason to buy a new bass now. Be sure to post some pics.

Gotta learn sometime right. I'd always go to a pro for paint jobs. I don't trust people enough to screw it for me, or let my self screw it up. Good luck fixing it tho.

My fisrt question is what kind of bass is it?
My second question is why would you want to paint it? You obviously liked it when you bought it.

I never liked the pg on my VM, before I bought it. So when I did, I took it off.
