Here it goes!
So a few years back I got myself my first bass, a Yamaha RBX 374.
These are the earliest photos I can find of it, and here it already had some few years uses under his belt

The following photos illustrate the process I went by
And that’s how it is as of now. I’m waiting for some parts (knobs, bridge, tuners). Tried painting over the original parts after sanding\polishing but I didn’t like the result.
This is how I envision the finish:
Something along these lines. Not sure about materials, can you guys give me some recommendations?
Not sure what to do with headstock
It had a plastic half-cover
