Just shake the can to mix the color coat then pur it into your sprayer. One can of Duplicolor Candy Apple Red color coat. You put the paint, lacquer or whatever material you are going to spray in it and attach the can of compressed air to the top of the jar and then spray your material. This is basically a can of compressed air with a syphon straw that goes into a small jar. I use their Sunburst Gold Met because it looked very close in color to Fender’s Shoreline Gold Metallic which, I think, looks very close to the gold base coat of the vintage Candy Apple Red (C.A.R.) Fenders I’ve seen.īTW there is a web site that is an excellent resource about Fender custom colors and what they used. One rattle can of Duplicolor Perfect Match automotive paint. One Musickraft ash tele body that has been the loyal test subject for my education in all tele modifications for 15 years and has now had the old finish strip by sanding it down. So if you have suggestions on how the process can be improved by all means share but keep the above in mind. I spray outside on the patio or parking lot of my apartment, Away from other’s cars of course and I hang the bodies outside to dry. Again, I’m not trying to duplicate and exact Fender Candy Apple Red finish just going for the same effect.įirst off let me say this I’m not trained as a painter, I don’t have a garage, workshop or any other place for a spray gun set up. I thought others might be interested in this so I’ll post it so that anyone else could benefit from my mistakes and hopefully success. So I started to wonder if I could get something close to the base coat /candy coat type of finish with basic off the shelf products at any auto parts store or hardware store. This is not to say one is better than the other they’re just different. I know others on this form have seen these also and I think it would be safe to say the candy color over these two under coats look different compared to each other no less the current version of Fender’s candy apple red which is more or less a Candy Metallic that is to say a deep color red paint with small metal flakes. Some of these instruments have been very worn and as such revealed the various incarnations of Fender’s Candy Apple Red with the silver and gold under coat over white primer. I’ve had the good fortune over the years to see several vintage Fender instruments with the original Candy Apple red finish.
