Very nice indeed! 

If you don't mind my asking, what paint did you use and what process?  I'm no finishing expert but I'd love to know what kind of work went into that finish.

 

[Mor Paul]

Man, that looks nice. I'm also curious about the paint process. I'd like to see that with a flame maple neck, and a single ply white pickguard.

 

[hannaugh]

Yes, please tell us about the process.  I would some day like to own an iridescent Jaguar.

That's pretty bitchin'.... :headbang1:

My uncle painted his old Z28 with a chameleon paint job. In the daylight it was orange almost yellow on top and faded to a  bluish green, and at night it was almost black...

 

[big bob]

ah yes tone shifting paint just like on  a low rider (I love that song) Very Nice..

Started with a bare wood Strat body, sealed it, painted it black, used PPG Harlequin flip-flop, clear coated then wet sanded & buffed.

Wish I had one of those back in the "hippie days" could pretend I didn't see it changing color to mess with the people tripping....

Well, a bit o' googlin' shows that PPG calls theirs Harlequin, Dupont calls theirs flipflop, and Sherman Williams calls theirs MultiTones... it seems like it might be kind of particulate, so you'd have to figure that out.

I love that one.  It would look awesome with me on stage because I have red hair and I wear green a lot.

Too gimmicky. Go with a green one. Green dye figured maple top.
