I don't know if any of you guys remember my white Squier.

I posted a while back, but I recently pulled all the parts off of it and tossed them on a sunburst body:

Anyways I've been getting a little tired of the white paint job and all of its nicks and dings so I'm thinking about repainting it again.

Not a huge fan of the relic look (but me being careless and never putting it in a case makes it seem like I am...)


I'm considering Ice blue, or Firemist gold, but right now I'm open to suggestions so long as it's not the following colors:
Black
White
Red
Sunburst
Metallic or Charcoal gray

So any recommendations? Keep in mind I will most likely use the silver hardware and the white pick guard with it.

I have a suggestion for a color you did not include. How about either a Silverburst or a Blueburst? Looking forward to the finished product.

Sounds like your are looking for blue so why not add to it. Ghost flames and pearl coat....If you can find a good airbrush painter or you can get something printed and layed on at a sign shop.

I'm gonna say the blue burst idea would look cool. So trans blue fading to black. Personaly that's what I would do, if not then I'd say ice blue.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys.

Not a huge fan of silver burst but that idea did remind me of the antigua strat which would be pretty cool.

Blue burst would be pretty awesome but I'd like a better base to work with for that color. (This is a thin body affinity that was 7 pieces of wood if I remember right from the last time it was stripped down)


Purple/wine and Tao Turquoise would be pretty cool just cause its so different.

Polls at split between ice blue, and firemist :cry: kind of how I feel about the colors at the moment.

I'll probably start stripping the body this weekend just to make some progress on it. Then there's primer and the little nicks and dings to deal with first so there's still plenty of time to change my mind on colors.

Thanks for any input!

Doing blue burst on a better body is actualy a good idea. As for the colours just try to think of which you could live with the longest, that's probably what I would do.
