Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

I need to get a 330 refinished. Can anyone recommend someone in Los Angeles?

Which paint type?

Problem is, many people don't paint conversion varnish (CV), which Rickenbacker used from 1960-2011.

You may be able to find somebody for nitrocellulose, but with California's harsh VOC laws, even that's hard to find. I'd suggest shipping your guitar if you want a proper job.

I'm looking to do the 330 in bright yellow. Not sure what kind of paint I should use. Don't know enough about refinishing. Rickenbacker factory is located in CA, so I guess I can use whatever they use. Which is what?
