hey guys i got a acordion and was just wondering if it is possible to paint it? If so what type of paint? Would a regular spray paint work? Let me know ok? Thanks
no regular spray paint will not work... it will but itll show ne nik or scratch on it if it does get scratched up...i wouldnt recommend it... accordions have a gloss on them on top of the paint so yah
Diva, your best option would be to remove the mica, sand the box down, and paint it as if you would a car. The regular spray paint will not be effective. I myself own a box which has been sanded down, and instead of painting it, I treated the would giving it the natural wood look.
GB thanks you have been a tremendous help. Those acordions on the pictures look awesome! They play the same right? Thanks sorry if i ask alot of questions lol.
Perfect! Then all that needs to be done is to be sanded down. Just be cautious not to scratch the wood. Once it's sanded down, find the appropriate and effective paint. It will more than likey take two or three coats of paint.
I'm sure that you'd might be able to find some. I would rather have it sprayed profesionally. But maybe you can check your local paint store or perhaps auto parts store that may recomend some enamel.
painting the bellows (the middle part) is not entirely impossible....i would imagine you would lose a little bit of action though (bellow's hardening due to the paint then the paint cracking???)
don't feel bad. something'll come up. the only femal accordionists that play only play girly tejano stuff (no offense to the females!!). what the industry needs is a female accordionist that jamm her booty off! she doesn't even have to sing. if she could just play hardcore conjunto, in an awesome way, man. just thinking about it. AAAAAARRRGGGGGHHH!!! that would be sweet.
yeah, that's me. i've been playing for 10 years now. i'll probably record more AZT stuff on youtube just for kicks. i rarely practice, but when i do, i play along with steve jordan and albert zamora stuff to loosen up. i also practice AZ because our (Sexto Sueņo) bajo sexto player played for Albert for 13 years (Milo Rivas), so when we play live, i know what to throw to trigger his good stuff on the bajo. it works. you all should come see us live. i think you all would like it. don't get the wrong idea, we're not AZT copycats. but since me and milo are on the same track, people think we're trying to outdo albert...we're not. we just play the hell out of our instruments. hahahahahaha. its so fun to be on stage. hope to see people from here at our dances.
Vincent hey just wanted to say Damn! You can sure throw down man! Great work i love the video. If you have anymore feel free to post them. I know the peeps here and I would love to see more!
