Just when I think no-one notices....
My take is that Tokai used 3 finishes for the Strats. This finish is applied over the top of the paint.
1) Polyester - the thick stuff that Ochay talked about, used on the "entry" level models
2) Polyurethane - thinner than Polyester and sets hard, used on all of the 50 and 60 models
3) Nitrocellulose - real thin and used on the 70 to 120 models. You can smell the wood thru this finish, the others you can't. The top-end models using nitro did tend to be in 6 colours only
The "Fiesta Red" is actually called Fiesta Orange by Tokai due to legal ramifications. Tokai also had Metallic Red (Candy Apple) and Salmon Pink.
The vast majority of "custom"colours are all poly-u finish
play nice,guys
