How to give my les paul a “vintage sunburst” coloring?

I’ve gotten interested in learning to build my own guitar, so I bought a les paul kit from SAGA.
You can see the guitar assembled here: (http://www.guitarattack.com/saga/saga2407/EagleBlues001.JPG).
Now I’ve got all the electronics and assembly figured out, but I’m confused about how to give this guitar a vintage sunburst coloring.

I talked to someone and he suggested that I try some tinted lacquers to get the vintage sunburst that I’m looking for. Do you recommend any brands or specific color combinations in order to achieve this?

Also, it looks like the guitar already has some finish on it, as the grains are not exposed. Do I need to prep the wood somehow? If so, how?
I’m not looking for suggestions on what colors to use in general, but what colors and techniques to use in order to get the vintage sunburst coloring.

if colouring maybe brown or your favorite colours or colours which different from the shop who are selling guitars.
