So a number of years ago I bought a PRS 2005 custom 24 maple top that is platinum metallic… I was not fond of the color at all but out of the 10 PRS guitars I tried that day, this was the best at the shop under my finger tips even though the others were much better looking. Through the years it’s been beat and played like it should and I’m not a fan of repainting in general but I’ll never sell the guitar so who cares what a resale will do if I have an expert paint it…. Anyway I need some suggestions on good luthier paint shop I guess. I’ve pondered this idea for years but now I guess it’s time to flip the switch. Shit idk. Maybe I shouldn’t care but it would be like a new guitar…. Not really. Below is the best show pic in my clean library.
Thoughts from the crowd?

check out GuitarPaintGuys on Facebook or their site. prices seem very reasonable, finishes look legit.
 
I think it looks cool (also looked up the color online). If it ain't broke don't fix it. Mike Einzinger from Incubus used to play one similar, but it was super sparkly, I still gas for that guitar.

I’m with you. For years I’ve tried to love the color but it was the playability that I enjoyed so much. It ain’t broke no doubt…. The color bothers me though. A pearl white would be cool.

Dave Navarro always had that pearl white PRS, pretty cool!
 
Painted my cheap Schecter Gryphon. So ugly….dark Cherry ….but plays fantastic and sounds great. So, went to Home Depot and …..boom.

Dammit that light blue is nice but reminds me a bit of the UNC Tar Heels so I’ll have to ponder that one …. I’d love to make mine a hard tail… gold. Ohhh just possible
