Re: How would you get this Fender closet classic pink?
Depends an how "pure" you want your pink. Starting with MK white will give you a dull, slightly muddy looking pink. Coral will give you an orangy pink.
Star with pur white base coat then add coats of pink made with pure white with a red dye in an amount to give you what you want.

Thanks doc. I know Olympic white has a more blue hue to it, so in the fender (reranch) colors would you start with arctic white? I definitely want to keep it translucent, so would you add your mix into clear to minimize the cover?

It doesn't look pink to me. It looks like yellowed white blonde.
I'd do white blonde over a very thin coat of honey blonde. Or I might let the pine yellow for a bit in some UV, and then spray white blonde on it. You could also lightly dye the pine with an amber lacquer-compatible dye first – yellow, pink, whatever color you want.
See if whoever makes you the body can also provide you with four or five test scraps from the same blank.

Tell me that pink color is for a girl, right?

No, it has a very slight pink tint to it, but I can see blond highlights too. Maybe that is the nautual wood coming through?
No it's not. So even in 2013 pink is for girls and blue is for boys? I missed the telegram

I´d get it a paper bag and a refinish, but that´s just me :laugh2:
*edit* Ups, How, not what, sorry
Essentially it´s the same as a Mary Kay White finish with pink pigments added. The hardest part will probably be mixing to match the exact color, assuming you already know how to do a BS or Mary Kay white

Re: How would you get this Fender closet classic pink?
I posted this on my iPad last night and with the glass screen it looked much more pink. I can see on my lcd laptop now that it looks more of a trans blonde.
There are too many colors and too many light filters in this world. Even so many shades of white / blonde :banghead:

This is a good point, I just realized depending on how I have my LCD configured it´s everything between "standard" mary kay white and almost pink coral, which makes me think Lew may well be on the right track... :friday:

OK, so I read this post wrong. I paid too much attention to the title and thought you were starting with the Tele in the picture and going after a true PINK for it.
The problem you'll have is trying to match that color with spray cans. Looks like you'll need clear with some arctic white as a base color, with a touch of butterscotch blonde and coral added for the pinkish tint. The best way of doing this is get a quart of Behlen nitro lacquer and 4 oz of white pigment (for lacquer) from Stewmac, and get a can each of Butterscotch Blonde and Coral from Reranch to use as tints. You'll need spray equipment (compressor, regulator, gun, hose). This becomes a big investment, but it's the only way you'll be able to get the exact color that you want.
Either that or take it to a professional to paint it.
