I've been wanting to try refinishing drum shells for a long time. I had an old remo kit with acousticon shells sitting around gathering dust on its hideous damaged red wrap, so i figured why not start on this. i stripped the shells of hardware and got the wrap and glue off clean. however due to complete lack of any information on refininishing acousticon shells on the internet i am scared to go any further. i have considered veneer and paint (leaning toward paint) but dont want to go with either untill i know which is best. Its the first kit i ever owned handed down from my brother so i would like to breath new life into it, not just use it as a learning experience. does anyone have any acousticon refinishing stories/advice to share?
