Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Please google "guitar refinishing" - you will find lots of pages with instructions on how to do it yourself, and lots of shops offering their services!. I wouldn't recommend doing this yourself unless you are extremely good at painting and woodworking and have access to professional grade tools - it will be worth it to pay a professional!.

* Remember that having a guitar (especially an acoustic) repainted or refinished can dramatically alter the sound, even when done right!. If the guitar is an original, repainting will destroy the resale value!. Frankley, its often better to just leave a hole in the guitar!. For an example look at Willie Nelson's guitar - big 'ol hole, looks like crap and sounds great! Varnish cracks are normal on old guitars!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hey!.!.!.!.

I had an old 1953 Les Paul and had it painted in a car shop!. i know it sound s funny but have you noticed how shiny a car is and how the paint withstands temperature !?

In any case, I had it painted a blue metalflake color and the finish stayed beautiful and scratch free for years!.

Just an idea and it is cheaper than sending it to a guitar shop!. These body mechanics have the dust free area nd know the stuff better than anybody!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
