Lime Green Lacquer?

:banghead::banghead::banghead:
I can't seem to locate light, bright lime green lacquer, either in a spray can or in a quart or even a tint that I can add to the lacquer I've already got. Anyone know where to get some.

I find muted colors everywhere, but no bright lime green.:eyecrazy: I'm going crazy because I believe it must exist somewhere, but I don't know where.

I've found it in enamel several places, but I want lacquer.

Somebody help me, PLEASE.

*if* you can use a metallic one (and aren't looking to do slime green):

<---- It ends up looking like the 4th guitar in my avatar.

Re: Lime Green Lacquer?

Thanks for your replies, but...

CTN and Dominus; that's about the color I'm looking for, but I don't want metallic.

bert123; thanks for that suggestion, but their lime green looks kinda muddy. Not as bright as I'm looking for.


Dominus, I remember when you posted about your guitars. I have to admit that they look super terrific...all of them. If I can't find what I'm looking for I might just go with a metallic. The problem is that I'm going to do a burst to dark green around the edges and it may look weird going from a metallic to a plain dark green.


Anyone else got a suggestion of where I can get it? (yeah, yeah, I know what you're thinking. I'm married so I got that covered).
 
Re: Lime Green Lacquer?

Similar. I want the lime green much brighter and I'm going to have the dark burst a little more subtle...thinner, less black, more dark greenish.

I've tried that, but the colors aren't pure enough to get the bright lime green I'm looking for. It turns out more like Brian's.

Yesterday I saw a great color at Auto Zone, almost exactly what I'm looking for. Unfortunately it was an engine enamel, they didn't have it in lacquer.:angryfire

Yup, when I did slime green I had to use the engine enamel. I'm sure you can do it with the Mixol tints, it'll just be VERY hard.

It's an plain color (not metallic) auto lacquer in a spray can. Looks very similar to Dominus' Lime Ice but maybe a bit more yellowy. We'll see when I get it and can spray a sample spot.

Nice! You might want to grab two cans. I was able to get one body out of each 3 oz can but sometimes I was really shaking the can as I was spraying the back of the body. :D

It should be nearly identical to this color here:
