    Hi, I'm in the process of learning how to paint a guitar. My first attempt involved nitrocellulose lacquers, I'm quite happy with the result but I wasn't so happy handling rather toxic chemicals (I used a respirator) which made the basement of my building rather smelly for a couple of days...

    I've done a lot of on-line searching on forums and store fronts and so far have come up dry. I'm restoring a bass with all brass hardware, and while the tuners and truss rod cover plate are fine, the rest of the brass is badly tarnished. Comparing the stripped and polished pieces to the...
