And in 1960, they released their first official Custom Color Chart, offering 14 factory-available colorways for players to choose from.
So, they did, offering their Teles, Strats, and other models in the “colors du jour” Lake Placid Blue (Cadillac), Fiesta Red (Ford), and Olympic White (again, Cadillac), to name a few. Fender realized that if they followed suit - outfitting their instruments in fresh new paint jobs - not only would this differentiate them from their competitors it would create a subtle connection to the automobile fetish that was so ubiquitous among the Americans of the ‘50s (hmmm, cars and guitars-what a great concept!) A Ford Thunderbird was one thing a Ford Thunderbird finished in Spring Mist Green was an entirely other thing.
began to add flair to their offerings: plush interiors, fancy dials and dashboards, and most importantly, brand new paintjobs with enticing names. Red value of its RGB is 255, Green value is 8 and blue value is 0. Each parameter (red, green, and blue) defines the intensity of the color and can be an integer between 0 and 255 or a percentage value (from 0 to 100). In an effort to capitalize on people’s desires, the big automakers of the time - Ford, Buick, Cadillac, etc. An RGB color value is specified with: rgb (red, green, blue). Owning a vehicle - especially an American one - had become a status symbol, the must-have item of the day. To call America’s fascination with automobiles feverish would be the understatement of all understatements. Just pour it into your airbrush and spray.Ironically, the commonly used acronym for Candy Apple Red is, of course, CAR-and the car is where it all began! To understand the appeal of custom colors, you have to go back to the ‘50s- at least a decade before Fender released their first Custom Color chart. You will also need to apply a quality clear coat (SZX90109) to achieve a high lustre. If using for on an "external" application, apply the backer as a base coat, rather than after the Candy paint. Be sure to test compatibility when using on other surfaces. Specifically, clear bodies for R/C cars and trucks. (Be sure to follow the instructions for using Ultimate Mirror Chrome)Īll Spaz Stix paints are formulated for use on polycarbonate material. Ultimate Mirror Chrome (SZX10000 or SZX10009): Produces a unique "colored chrome" effect.Gold: Produces a darker finished color, with the most depth.Metallic Silver(SZX00300 orSZX00309): Produces the same results as silver, but with "sparkles".Silver: Produces a bright, rich color, with some "depth".White (SZX00200 or SZX00209): Produces the brightest color, but the least amount of "depth".We recommend the following backer color combinations: I was also thrilled to find that it has the rare factory option of large frets. Its a nicely preserved example which is completely original throughout with no repairs or modifications ever. After achieving an even finish with the Candy paint, you MUST use a backing color to make your paint job "pop". Im thrilled to offer this very clean 1965 Fender Stratocaster in original Candy Apple Red Metallic custom color finish which has just come in from the daughter of its original owner in New Hope, Alabama. The color will build in intensity with each coat, but at this point, the color will be very faint. Candy paints spray out very clear, and will require several light coats to achieve best results. Spaz Stix "Candy" paint is a translucent (see through) color that when applied correctly, will produce eye-popping results. Cone 06 oxidation (larger image): Candy Apple Red is a heavily pigmented, viscous Stroke & Coatglaze that can be used for brush strokes or opaque coverage. The hard anodized metal colors give your R/C vehicle a bold and realistic look - delivering a custom paint job every time. The Spaz Stix Candy color line up is the real deal.
