Matte shell pink - Charvel DK24

[NoiseMachines]

Looking to refinsish a guitar in a matte shell pink like the Charvel DK24 model. Most of the spray lacquers I see online have a gloss finish. Can anyone recommend a paint that would match the DK24 finish. I emailed Charvel and they advised that it was a "urethane based paint but we can't tell you product codes or manufacturers."

Go to a paint shop where they mix paints into rattle cans - most likely it's automotive related. They should be able to find a matching colour if you have any good reference so they can compare it to their samples. Matte is just another ingredient in the mix, that's not a big issue after they find the right pink. Knowing that the original is an urethane based paint might help but doesn't necessarily matter much. No matter what type of paint you buy, you want it to be rock solid in a relatively short time without too thick a coat. Even 2k paint can be put into a rattle can, there's an extra button in the bottom to release the hardener into the mix.

Thanks, that's a great idea. I'll see if there's anywhere nearby.
