I'm looking for spray paint (aerosol cans) of something close to Olympic White, preferably a lacquer.
Does anybody know of anything available in Canada? Closest I've found was a satin Antique Ivory enamel, but a bit too rich and dark. Even just an "Antique White" might work.
Can't order from the US so looking for something on the shelves here.
Thanks

You might be able to get Olympic White from UAP or NAPA auto parts centers. Ask for paint number 2818-L used on Cadillacs from 1958 to 1962.
Let me know if you have any luck.

I found this website that shows cars and guitars in the popular colors: http://www.jedistar.com/car_colour_guitars.htm

There is also a whole bunch of other guitar info.

Excellent reference, thanks.
I did a bit of digging and found Duplicolor also has an Olympic White BGM0434.

Thanks, I will look for that in the auto parts store or Canadian Tire.
