Shell pink looks dynamite if done right. If not it just looks bad IMO
That's the thing. I'd make sure I had the right shell pink colour codes, but I could still screw it up being a noob and by using spray cans.

For white I just have to jizzblast it with paint right?

When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

I also like the kind of blue that Mick's Strat is from That Pedal Show. Possibly sonic blue? Still remember the first time I saw that colour, when I was 13 or 14 and they reviewed one in an issue of Guitarist. I fantasised about being able to somehow buy that guitar for a long, long time

Anyhow, something in that kind of ilk and colour I could fap over rather easily
