HumanFuseBen Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 I am working on an Ibanez RG7620 right now, and my goal is to basically end up with a 7 string Rg550RFR. I already have a sweet maple boarded neck for it and everything! I need that wicked neon red in my life. I'm not going to be ultra picky about 100% matching the classic Ibanez Road Flare Red.... as long as it is that wild, reddish orange flourescent eye-melting red, i'll be happy! I have a buddy who paints cars and does clear for a living, so i have access to high quality equipment for spraying. Let me know if you know of any good places to get some ULTRA bright neon paints!

killemall8 Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 If your friend paints cars, he should have access to some automotive paint. House of kolor and kustom shop offer almost every color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumanFuseBen Posted December 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 House of Kolor's flourescent paints are discontinued i will check out the custom shop though. I hit up Day Glo, too! They should be sending me some samples soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob123 Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 (edited) Hey, the ONLY red I've found thats even CLOSE is "Signal Red". A few companies make itm, but its up to you to find it. Ofc it will need to be sprayed thin over a white basecoat in multiple passes. I have tried RFR, and I fail miserably, I hope you have better luck then I do. this is signal red btw Edited December 10, 2012 by bob123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AXEMON DAN Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 You might want to take a look at the Alsa corp web site Alas offers a awsome selection of custom paints and Chrome fininshes plus they offer Auto fininshes .... custom colors and clear coats in spray cans look under Killer Cans www.Alsa corp.com It's worth A look Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostheta Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 WHOA THAT'S RED I always thought that a red looks better when sprayed over a yellow basecoat? Probably different for crazy stuff like fluorescents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably different for crazy stuff like fluorescents. I know ferrari uses their red over yellow to get their "Ferrari Red" color (similar to RFR), but I would try white for that extra "pop" for me. They use a candy red, so I dont know if it would be the same with a flourescent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostheta Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 My point about red over yellow is that if you want to have the base influence the red, you don't want to use white. Unless you love pink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
