I have a 69 Ludwig Silver Sparkle kit with double kick and 7 toms. Most of them (interiors) have been painted twice. ONe of the kicks has a clear lacquer finish. I have thought about stripping to the bare wood, but decided to paint them the granitone finish. I didn't even think about stamping dates. I have been putting this project off for too long. This kit belonged to a friend that passed away. I know the whole history about the 2 coats of interior paint. I dont think it will increase the value of the drum. Once the interior has been painted it kills the value to collectors, but who ever sells anything? I don't! LOLThe silver sparkle is on the left of the pic.
Haha that's how I think. I act like ill never sell anything. I maybe thought you'd sell something till I saw that picture! Dang!!!!! I love your black oyster pearl kit!
