I might have a mooch in halfrauds later and see. If not it's Oil and knickers to the sides
Find a small local automotive paint supplier, that can mix aerosols, or just have a search online.
I used to have the benefit that my neighbour owned a small paint supplier, so was a good source for advise and paint, but he retired and moved away :-/
Officially for automotive use it's only allowed for restoration work where the vehicle would of originally been painted with cellulose (modern paints will generally react if painted over cellulose, and modern paints can't achieve the same semi-gloss finish), so it's gradually becoming rarer.
The only difference between brushable, and sprayable, are the thinners. Aerosol is simply sprayable put in a can and pressurised. If the supplier doesn't deal in cellulose, then you're not getting cellulose. However, most will still have ways of getting what you want.
I've got a set of hole cutters - one of them might be the appropriate diameter for your holes?
I give you “Peugeot Aegean blue” coated with Rustoleum “glitter finish” topped off with Halfords clear coat!...

I have a cutter that will do a circular disk of just about the right size. So that means I just need some hardwood sheet and I can fill those silly control holes in the front.
Wandered into the garage to look for something totally unrelated and found 3 cans of Steve Robinsons finest nitro and one can of sanding sealer. So I now have
- 1 Primer
- 1 Daphne Blue
- 1 Clear Gloss
Daphne Blue and matching headstock it is then. Result.
However, a question whilst the various bits dry etc.
The bass has a battery holder (for the comedy LED lights - not a Preamp.) I wonder, is it worth having a Preamp onboard (though I want to stick with three controls) or would you stick with vol vol tone passive?
I will fit the battery holder but keep it empty if I stay passive..

This video might help.
I was especially interested in the suggestion of switchable series/parallel interconnection of the two RBX pickups. There is an argument for permanently linking the two pickups and reconfiguring the control array to Master Volume and a stacked knob three-band EQ occupying the other two places.
