Hello my brothers of the trade!

I have a Les Paul from a customer that would like a "Honeyburst" finish applied ( currently just "stained" and lacquered from a spray can!) Anyway, has anyone applied this color and if so what color dye did you mix or use ? I have done many other bursts but all the "easy" colors such as Tabacco-Cherry-orange etc.. but this one I am not sure what colors to mix.

Is there such a reference or web site explaining the combinations of colors to produce specific finishes?

Thank you!!

To all the "Minnesota" guys : we should plan a little "get together" some time?

This book has more burst "formulae" than any other source I have seen:

Rick, Check your PM. I have one I'm not using. I'll sell it.
