Here's a thought, and I'm posting it to see if those "in the know" think if it's too outlandish:

Seeing that the usual lacquer is, essentially, a somewhat fragile single-coat version of automotive paint, how bad would "kustom" paint be for a tuba? Look in any lowrider magazine and you'll see some pretty amazing paintwork. Most of that is with many coats (numbering in the dozens sometimes), but I wonder if a decent effect could be had with fewer coats.

A sousie in candy red with purple metalflake just might stand out at the next Tubachristmas..... :)

In all sincerity,
Leland
