Post a few pics of your work if you're able.
A lot of guys will want a very thin, faded nitro finish in old DuPont colours. Well, some will. Be worth offering.

Perfect match like on the 60s reissue, on the 2004 American standard, or in the brochure?

Re: Custom Paint Jobs
Struggling to find this color on my system. Especially because it’s a DUCO paint not DuPont and I’m working with PPG Envirobase.
On the other hand, I’ll keep looking but what would definitely speed up a process is a sample. Reaching.. I know.

Re: Custom Paint Jobs
maybe get Conway involved as a consultant, I`ll take the usual finders fee.
anyhoo, vintage white is the best colour for guitars. BY FAR!

There are still some that think the neck PU is moved to accommodate the extra frets which only proves they cannot detect the difference in length of each.
