Well, I know this is old, but I wanted to post because I finally decided on a color, and it is "none of the above." It's Rustoleum Charleston Green enamel. It's a very dark green, approaching black in tone. That will get me close enough to the black look I originally wanted, but without being quite as standard/boring. Enamels are a ***** to work with compared to lacquers, but until I get a proper spray gun up and running, I'm limited to what comes pre-canned. Here's the color:

Ha ha. I know; I am a bad procrastinator. However, it wasn't like this guitar's color was a pressing issue every day. I was working a lot, took a 30-day tour, and I refinished this baby during that time as well, among other projects (photo by the owner):

Alas, I cannot vote. For changing the guitar to transparent amber wasn't an option to give it that 1958 Explorer look...
