I just purchased an early 90’s Blaster Kubicki copy. I’m planning to refin the body as it is a bit too roadworn to my taste. What would be the most 90’s colour? Is there anything better than colour swift green-purple?

At least the 90s colors were a little more subtle than 80s colors.

All these pics make me wonder if these people actually lived through the 90s. To know what 90s color to go for just look at all the sports teams that got started then. The sharks. The diamondbacks the marlins the jaguars the panthers. What’s common thread. Teal. Team Teal is the color of the 90s.
So teal/purple chameleon paint will get me two birds with one stone!
This....Not just the colors, but the design. You can go ahead and close the thread now.
Bonus points if you can somehow incorporate 3 spoke wheels.
What about the multi colors where spray in different (usually neon) layers and then sand it so that some layers show through differently. Then clear coat it.
There was recently a 90’s Ibanez ATK on Reverb with that paint job, it was so cool!Yes! Teal, purple and white

I have a Miami Blue Fender Precision Bass that could be inspiration for your refin. Check out the link in my signature for the details.

Yep, teal and pink. I’m so glad that I never owned anything I wanted as a teenager in the early 90’s. Otherwise, I’d probably still be stuck with a lowered Mazda mini truck with cheap KMC wheels and graphics that look like the opening credits to Saved by the Bell.
