Get an air compressor, paint gun, and start buying parts from Warmoth. I do like the Sherwood Green '62 reissues, though. If I was going to get a reissue, I'd hold out for a Shoreline Gold '57. Something about how it looks sitting in that tweed case gives me bad GAS.

Krylon is your friend.

Im going to shoot the either the Sherwood green, or emerald green. Its just a pain to mix the colors.

Here is a pic of the discontinued '62 Hotrod in "Sherwood" Green. It looks a bit more like candy green to me though.



There was also the Clapton Strat in Candy Green



Here is a pic of my strat I refinished in Re-Ranch Sherwood Green



You could always order a finished body from Warmoth for around $300.

Candy Green is the biggest pain in the $@! color to do. As far as i can tell, you cannot get it premixed, and its a several step process.

BTW looking at the guitar at the first post ( I assume its a virtual guitar), you're definitely going to need a F-spaced humbucker. Those pole pieces are everywhere but under the strings.

Try ReRanch...

I googled that image and I think it is a real pic of the '62 Hotrod reissue. I think the pole pieces look off more due to the angle of the guitar in the picture. The shot is not straight on from the point of view of the strings.

Two things id like to mention. First is while many people get good results from it, we have not, so we don't use Re-ranch any longer, I don't handle the finish aspect of repairs, so ill have to find out what we use now for finishing. Whatever it is, I know its agreed upon in the shop that for whatever reason, the newer stuff is better.
Second, if you can afford it and have someone in your area that can do the work; order the Warmoth bodies without a finish. There ate a few advantages to thus. First is you'll get a better cut of wood. Though not common, I have come across Warmoth bodies with plugs in them. They were bodies bought already finished. They wont send out a body with a flaw if its not finished, its to easy to spot.
Most important, I think Warmoth put way too much finish on them. Way too thickm

I would just say to do one yourself. MIM bodies are cheap and you can easily take one that's beat up, have the finish removed, and repaint it. Save yourself from buying another guitar...

Why own a guitar? That is even cheaper.

My Transparent Teal is a fairly dark green.
