Bunderthollox Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Hey friends I bought a nice old Indian Sitar see photos with a huge crack on the base (Toomba) Repaired the base traditional method, but for the paint job, (not my field) what is the painting method, I think it's stained or some sort of enamel or lacquer, it seems pretty hardcore, like a nail varnish, I've sanded down my repairs but the original paintwork is unaffected. So my question is can it be painted over at all, (new.paint job) using a primer, or is a spray can best? Its aold so I would t use an elec sander on it. The areas where I've sanded the original paint isn't even scratched. Thanks Sean Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Wally Francis Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Sometime ago on the TV series "Repair Shop" they carried out a repair on a Sitar, maybe try google for catching that series. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
