Been doin' some make-up & other stuff on a Squier Affinity Stratocaster, which is gradually becoming a very nice instrument. Changed the pickguard plate to black; rewired the guitar totally; put in a .009-set of strings and did a total setup; claptonblocked the tremolo; matt-sanded the back of the neck; and (a modification which really gave terrific results) replaced the original soft plastic nut with a self-made real bone nut; etc.

Now I'm thinkin' it might be nice to paint the frontside of the headstock in the body color. I know this thang is Squier's Metallic red, but is it the same as Fender's Red sparkle metallic ? Doesn't seem to be an exact match (on a computer screen, see link: Fender support color chart
And a follow-up question: paint manufacturer, color code and a place to find a can in Europe would be appreciated...
