Halfords will replace any unopened cans for a different colour without any hassle, so I imagime you can get a refund easy enough. I'll have a go at photoshop if you've got a good pic of the XII to use for it.

It's a bit rough and the horns aren't done but it's enough to get an idea.

Coming shortly, other colours based on the hue slider.

Oh it's fucking hot in Red. Do Do Do.

Which Blue did you get Hurb? The Hemy Roid is Caribic Blue. It's a proper fucking lottery at that place.

I wasn't going for anything specific with these, just movig the hue saturation and brighteness sliders about until I hit colours I would consider painting it if it was mine.

Toyota light blue.
I am done with halfords for colours, primer is ok. there clear takes to long to cure and there colours are to hard to choose. I was there ages staring at the tins and this cretin that worked there started getting in my way putting new tins on the shelves, I had to tell him to fuck off. he is lucky I didn't get some larda green and spray that shit in his mouth. fuckin cunt.

I think it's one of the laws of physics that Daphne looks good on everything to the point where you shouldn't use it just because it's not fair on other colours.

Dang james cheers!
the blue does look good, but my jazzuar was blue like that. I aint had many red guitars I think its gotta be red. although I put the guard on the white primer and that looks pretty cool too.

Do you have photoshop? I can send you a photoshop file that has the colour part of the guitar as a seperate layer soyou can just run the hue slider up and down to change it to what you want. I know you've said you've settled on red, but it's still fun to play with.
