What kind of paint
A year or so ago I bought a partscaster from the forum. It used to belong to first I think Oleg and then Keon. It's a TV yellow colour. It's been a great guitar. I want to repaint it. I will paint over the existing paint. If it's nitro, I'll put nitro over. If it's poly of some kind, I'll put poly on.
How do I figure out what kind of paint it is please?

In life, don't sweat the petty stuff, and don't pet the sweaty stuff.

Seriously, no idea; that's all I've got.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Synthetic will lift cellulose. Or cellulose will lift synthetic. Can't remember.
Hope that helps.
