i'm new to this forum so hi everyone!

ive got a jaguar (japanese issue) which has the fender 50th anniversary sticker on its headstock. the jag is candyapple red (CAR)(love it so much)!. anyway, a few years ago i ended up having the body resprayed as it got damaged. however, the insurance people that did it, sprayed it a couple of tones darker than the original colour (the headstock was untouched luckily). They said that thats the colour fender was currently using for (CAR), but it looks a bit rubbish, and I'd fell in love with the colour of it when i bought it.

I'm lookiing for a place in the UK that will respray it the exact colour that the japanese factory used. I'm sure it must be possible to do.

Any suggestions please?

Cheers! :)

Hello Red_Jaguar_Girl,

If you cannot get a color sample{ie another guitar}
contact Fender Japan and ask for the Pantone number.
All the colors of the spectrum are assigned a pantone
number then in theory any or most any qualified
paint mixer can duplicate the said color. Sometimes
a specific basecoat color is need to achieve the goal
ask about this also.

One example: The Flag of Scotland {blue}= Pantone 300

Hope this helps.

Cheers.
