Another project - nearing completion - is a 1964 Fender Precision refinished to Fiesta Red. This isn't one of mine - doing it for a customer - a very nice bass that had been stripped and beaten-down over the years, but still played great.
What's different about this refin for me is that I decided that rather than deal with the kind of costly ReRanch cans of lacquer, i'd have a local company custom mix me a gallon of Fiesta Red nitro.
The paint came out perfectly - they matched a refinished 69 P-bass I have - and goes on SO easy. So now I have enough Fiesta Red for about another dozen Fenders.
Based on how good the Fiesta Red was, I had the company (Eastern ChemLac of Malden, MA) mix me a gallon of Dpahne Blue as well - which I shot onto a 66 Mustang guitar yesterday - also excellent quality.
So don't be surprised if you see a profusion of Fiesta Red and Daphne Blue Fenders from me over the next year or two ...
