tomhunt Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Do any of you know if you can spray/paint hardware such as bridges machineheads blah blah..? Got all gold stuff on mine and want to have it all black, cheapest rout could be to get them sprayed. What ya think? Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandelion Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I used this once. Did a reasonable job. http://www.plasti-kote.co.uk/Product/pcode---4311 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt P Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 i'd not reccomend it, it's a pretty fiddly job to get it looking good, you'd probably have to dismantle the hardware to get a good finish and it wouldn't nesseceraliy stick very well without proper surface preperation, what bass is this? (i looked at your sig and none of the basses have gold hardware as far as i know) i'd price up some replacement black hardware, if the parts are fairly standard (fender for example) you might be able to get the whole lot cheaply on ebay or in the BC classifieds and then sell the gold stuff to get some money back.

tomhunt Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 Its my Geddy Lee jazz, last owner had all the hardware replaced with gold stuff Wilkinson and Hipshot stuff. Iv got a threat in the Wanted section on this forum seeing if I can get some sort of trade going. I can get everything but a black BadAss II Bridge. My girl friends uncle sprays motorbikes, and was going to see if he could do anything, but thought Id see what was what first. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt P Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) hmm i wouldn't try it then, the open tuners will be a nightmare to paint and then the black is likely to wear off on the gears, and whatever you do DON'T paint that badass! it will never look as good as a proper black one and you will seriously devalue it. personally i'd replace what you can like for like and sell the gold badass, then get a different bridge in black (plenty of cheap options) and keep the money ready for when a proper black badass II pops up.

tomhunt Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 Think you"re right. Cheers for the input guys. Going to buy the bits I can, and hopefully a black badass II pops up Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
