The prices below reflect painting a bolt-on neck body in "reasonable" condition. We'll handle all prep sanding, sealing, color application, topcoat and buff for the prices listed below. For bodies that are heavily damaged, and/or require removal of the original finish (e.g., lacquer based paints), an additional charge will apply. Provide a photo for any body in question and we'll be more than happy to quote an exact paint price. All GMW non-urethane based topcoats use the same polyester employed by companies such as Jackson/Charvel.
