Re: Question about customising a mandolin
In general, thicker finish on a mandolin equates to worse, less responsive sound. Adding paint would likely have some negative effect on the sound. However, a $200 mandolin is not likely to have the best sound anyway, due to its construction and finish, so the effects of additional paint might not be significant. Personally I think it seems like a fun project. Share pics if you proceed!
