So my Richwood ukulele arrived today, workmanship isn't the best, but it's a pretty cheap uke so I couldn't ask for more!
I love the Satin finish, it just feels like it could be sanded down a lot better.
By the way, this will be my first painting project so I may need some advice.
Here's what I might do,
1) Sand off the whole ukulele except the bridge and fretboard
2) Tape all areas which are not being painted with normal tape (would the normal transparent tape do?)
3) Spray paint the whole body with the base colour
4) Use acrylic paint with a brush to paint the design
5) Wait for everything to dry, then spray a few layers of Clearcoat
Is that the correct procedure?
By the way, this is a slightly off-topic question, how do you adjust intonation on a uke? I'm not a uke player, but the intonation on this thing is pretty terrible!
Thanks in advance!
