Which of the three are you interested in? I can tell you right off the bat the Green will kill you and you end up having a fit trying to clear over it (beacuse most clears will change the color to a darker one) if your talking areosols. I ended up using Roman Brand from House of Kolor and even that get's difficult if your around any humidity problems.

Yellow is a different story since there are plenty out there that are close and the originals were not what you think if you have ever actually seen a Dersert Yellow while it is brite I doubt they are flourescent. I'm not sure about the Hot Pinks.

House of Kolor is what Ibanez uses. The green pink and yellow all spray fine, but you have to clear with automotive poly urethane.

The green is the easiest of the 3 colors to spray.

There is a company called Killer Kolors that make an aerosol that is very close to the right colors.

However, pretty much any neon color needs to be clear coated to make it nice and glossy and have any protection.

They all fade, but pink fades the worst just so ya know :D
