Post subject: Squier Affinity Series in Cimarron Red (I think)

Hi,

I need some help from the Fender / Squier gurus please.

I have recently acquired a Squier Affinity Series 'Crafted in China' Strat and I'm struggling to find a touch-up colour of paint to match the original finish. I ordered some Dakota Red, but I found that colour to be too bright and a lot yellower than the finish on my guitar. As far as I know this guitar still has the original finish and hasn't been resprayed.

I believe that the colour of my guitar is actually Cimarron Red and mine looks very similar to the Bill Carson Strat in that colour, although mine has a rosewood neck (I'll fix that at a later stage).

Were any Squier Affinity Series Strats made in Cimarron Red and can anyone please help me find a touch-up paint so, that I can fill in the paint chips and restore the original finish on my Strat? Thanks.

A couple chips and scratches add character, but if you must find an exact match maybe you could try the paint matching service at Sherwin Williams? I used it once for some paint for some gutters and it was dead on exact.
