Lovin' the Firebird I in the group shot, good luck in your quest for the 'perfect' Sea Foam Green  :)

I do prefer surf green to sea foam, but both are great colours.

The first picture of the strat in this thread looks as though it might have been colour enhanced.

Think you should go for a tele Afgan!

If you find someone who can do the spraying reasonably cheaply I'd be interested to know. 

I haven't researched very thoroughly, but it seems to cost at least as much as the body/neck itself.

All the Fender green custom colours are very rare, so few people will have seen many real examples. I've never seen a genuine Sea Foam Green 60s Fender guitar.

As pointed out above, the effects of aging will vary the colour somewhat.

Clive Brown is one of the best (if not the best) vintage refinisher operating at the moment. However, if you want it aged be prepared to wait......

alos, its worth noting that the effects of ageing is much more apparent on lighter colours.  those light blues, greens and burgundy mists are where most of the disagreement exists
