OK, if you are going to do this with spray paint. You're going to have to put a couple coats of primer on it. First sand your bass down to the wood. Spray on a coat of primer, let it dry. Take some steel wool and rub over it to smooth it out then put another coat on. Now steel wool it again and it should be ok to put the first coat of paint on. After you get the paint right, you might want to try to find a clear coat to go on top but it has to be compatible with the spray paint you put on there. When I painted my bass the first time, the clear coat made the paint crack, crinkle, and come off. Well, the only real problem I had after I got the paint right was when I put the neck and bridge back on, the action was very strange, it would buzz on certain frets, not on others and it was annoying me so eventually I took the **** frets off.
This is very impressive, and I would carry out all of this advise good job turnonlight.
Guess youll have to wait till after practice.... and yes you should use some steel wool
dont spraypaint the neck cavity thats what ruined turnonthelights intonation i think....thats my best guess never ever spraypaint a cavity, put tape in the cavity so that any runoff paint would get stuck in the corners, thats more sanding for you and after this, youll never wanna sand again!!!!
