Painting Over A Stain?

Post by death2yun »

I don't have any experience with this, so i'm wondering if there's anything I should know concerning refinishing a stained guitar?

Use tinted shellac, like Bins if you're going to paint a solid color. If it's got a gloss coat sand with 320 or so, then primer it.
