Who's painting guitars nowadays? Trying to find out who's out there. A place like Sims, but reputable, for example. My go to people have since retired or died.

I might want someone who can do a good dyed flame with gloss top type finish possibly.

They pulled off the most extreme finishes for me.
But since they're in Latvia, it doesn't make much sense for the OP- but then for everyone in the EU it's a recommendation.

Thanks everyone. I found GMW. Maybe looking into them when I'm ready. I also found some cool solid colors like Teal Kandy shimrin paint and all those colors. Those are nice. They got chameleon paints too. The black shimrin is nice too. all the pearl options. Option paralysis now. lol.
