Formula for Fender color.

Sign in to disble this ad
Would anybody have the mixing formula for Fender's color #29, Agave Blue? I want to have a bass done in that shade and other than having my finisher do it by test mixes I don't seem to find it anywhere.

Thanks in advance, Frank

Most of the new Fender color info is not documented, like the vintage colors. You might contact or search this link. I believe they have a file of Fender colors, if you talk to customer service

Back when I worked at American Showster, we used the vintage colors that both Chevy and fender used. They were DuPont Duco automotive nitrocellulose lacquer colors.

If you go to a auto finisher, they should know the color formulas.
