There is no need to override the paint method. You have to make the items 
transparent in the stylesheet:

QMenuBar {
   background-image: url(:/res/menu_bg.png);
}
QMenuBar::item {
   background-color: transparent;
}

You may also set the selected/pressed/ states like this

QMenuBar::item:selected {
   background-color: red;
);
