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.

Here are some pics of some customized accordions:

Your welcome.  Those are in fact some nice looking accordions.

Diva, the paint on the box will not effect the sound.  If you don't mind me asking, what kind of accordion do you have?

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.
