The early guitars were sprayed with automotive colors that they could get from the paint manufacturers cheap. Leo liked inexpensive. All of Fenders early colors cross over to Ford and GM mixes. They used real nitro because that is what was available and it dried quicker than enamel. Fiesta red is a 55 Thunderbird color. They used a lot of Cadillac colors as well. PPG paints has a conversion chart somewhere on line reranch may have it as well.
