metallicaforlife Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 Is there a difference between off white and vintage white? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anderekel Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 As far as a technical sense would be, off white would be the paint is tinted like that. The vintage white on an actual vintage instrument would be white paint and the clear has tinted over time. Otherwise I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metallicaforlife Posted May 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 So you cant just buy the color vintage white but you can with off white and they look pretty identical? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 (edited) Off-white might be a little lighter. You probably want aged white or parchment. Here's aged white by Lindy Fralin: Here's vintage white from a Duncan Antiquity: Here's cream from Warmoth: I particularly like coffee-dyed white, but it only works on pickup covers. Here's what it looked like on my strat: As you can see, aged white and coffee-dyed are the closest. Coffee-dying makes them look dirtier and old though.

Keegan Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 Yeah, vintage white is definitely darker than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anderekel Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 If you're goin' by color alone, vintage white seems to be more of a green tint as well, instead of the cream color of what you showed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
