Gretsch guys advice black paint for SSB era BD hoops

Loading...

Help2Help2Hi guys. Restoring a 1971 SSB Gretsch Name Band and was wondering the best paint to use on the hoops? While we're on the topic, any idea what the catalog name was for this color wrap? I doesn't seem to be a faded champagne sparkle or silver-it's more golden-like, even after the Novus treatment.Thanks for your time. dean

Black satin enamel aerosol will get you that exact finish... 2-3 coats after sanding... Tough & long lasting,,

Can't help with the wrap Q..

Cheers

John

Exactly but if you don't like the fumes, you can get the same thing in a can. Because it is satin finish, apply it with a small roller evenly. You will have lots of paint left for all your other rims that you will restore Cool Dude

Keep fixing them up...

PERFECT! I knew I'd get the info I needed here. Thank you very much guys. An annoying little thing called work has kept me off all things drums last few months. I'll begin posting pics of the rehab, including the hoops, in the coming weeks. Respectfully: Bowing

To spray (outdoors)... I knocked together a simple turntable cross gizmo.. comprises scrap wood & one screw...

Allows you to spray both inner & outer at the same time.. & cuts down on time...
