Candy orange/tangerine

[Joe Milo]

Fellas,

I have a Fender Deluxe P Special MIM that is currently painted surf green....(testors fifties aqua) to be exact.....I'm not happy with the paint color I chose so I would like to go with candy orange....

Would you choose a silver metallic or gold metallic for the undercoat? I think either or would work fine but the gold will give it more of a warmer color hue than silver..........

was going to go this route:

I could always try reranch orange as well?

Candy Tangerine Silver base burst to Candy Tangerine Gold base on the edges = dilemma solved and one subtle yet radically cool bass!

You have great taste in colour, hombre, LOVE Candy Orange.

Damn Feral that is a killer idea! I will have to try this now!

This seems like a sweet build!
What if you burst from orange on the edges to sea green in the middle?
I know it{s not the most conventional, but hey, it could look uber cool.

Heres mine I did with silver and reranch. My first finish. I like the color even though not the exact candy tangerine I was going for. Definitely has more red to it.

I recently did a refin with Duplicolor Metal Specks "Burnt Copper" and was very happy with the results. If you're looking for an eye-catching metallic orange that will look great onstage, I recommend it. You can find it in most auto parts stores.
