seafoam green

[noaa]

I am planning to paint a guitar seafoam green and i cant find a place where i can buy it , this color was from a buick 1957 fender painted some of their guitar , i know reranch has this item , but they do not ship to canada and many others either , i contacted other stores here in canada , that furnish material to garages but they cant do it because the computer does not give the information, can someone here on the forum help me in solving my problem .

Many thanks in advance

Depending how particular you are Canadian Tire or the usual auto parts shops have a good array of colours and you might be able to get pretty close. I painted an old Mustang using auto spray paint -a few thin coats and it looked pretty good for under $10!

Is there a big difference between canadain tire spray can paint and the paint garage uses.

There must be a way in finding the color code and get it made ,i have the color code for a buick 1957 seafoam green the code is 4148l made by dupond gm wa2736 , i can easily buy it a home depot code bar is 69711113208 but i do not think is a good idea to paint a guitar with a big box store paint

what is your opinion

I've painted a lot of guitars with auto store spray paint, and it is fine. I can't imagine why Canadian Tire spray paint could be that bad.

I don't see why not. Paint is paint. Pigment and solvent + plus extras. Reranch et al get there paint from somewhere just like everyone else and it might just be the same vat the big boxes buy from!

Readthe first post, Reranch does not ship to Canada.
I have used these with good results, it's acrylic lacquer. https://www.montana-cans.com/en/spray-cans/spray-paint/gold-400ml/montana-gold-400ml
"Malachite" looks pretty close to Seafoam green IMO.
