Me too.
Generally speaking, most players stray away from relaquered horns. But sometimes a horn needs to be fixed up pretty like.

There are several excellent independent brass repair techs around the country. Several who post on TromboneChat. If you're lucky, one of them lives near you, so you won't have to engage in the risky (and increasingly expensive) business of shipping a trombone.
Where are you located?

I've not had this done before, but I have considered it. What are the issues or reservations about a re-lacquered trombone?

"

If you just want a pretty horn, there are myriad shops who do excellent buff and re-lacquer work.
An "overhaul" would include slide alignment/repair.
Just FYI: An interesting video prepared by a tech who has done some excellent work for me.....
