The silver spray paint (!) is already off. A little dent work when I get home, and I'll be set, for a little while anyway. Most likely I'll sell it after enjoying it for a while, since I'm not actually a baritone player. Or maybe I'll become one.

Very cool, did you get it for $75?

No, I paid his asking price. It was already undervalued at that level. I didn't want to take advantage of him.

If you don't mind me asking, how did you get the paint off? I assume bead or sand blasting would mess with the valves....

Regular paint or lacquer stripper would be my guess

Not sure it counts as regular, but it worked and didn't hurt me or the instrument in any way I can discern.
