My advice would be to leave it as it is right now, do not paint the inside of the shell. I have a similar Sonar snare in all original condition. The interior of the shell was not painted or finished in any way.

Great job on restoring the drum and preserving the original wrap!

IF they used anything, it likely would have been one coat of lacquer. Very nice, and good job of bringing it back to life as it should be.

I just love those strange colors Sonor used in the 60's & 70's.
