400ml Nitrocellulose paint/lacquer
We stock a wide range of high quality nitrocellulose lacquers and paints suitable for use on any guitar project.
We’ve produced a range of colours found on popular guitar models and used our own Strat and Tele bodies for reference.
This is the same type of lacquer as used on vintage Fender and Gibson guitars which, over time, will produce an aged, tarnished look to your instrument. These are true lacquers, as used by top guitar makers since the 1950s. They dry very quickly and produce a hard glassy finish, unlike other “pre-cat” lacquers
Specification
Solid colour lacquer with a glossy finish
400ml aerosol with elliptical nozzle
Each can is enough for 4 or 5 coats of a Telecaster sized body (depending on coat thickness)
Aerosol produces a consistent fine spray
Fender Candy Apple Red - How it's done
These paints and lacquers are very easy to apply and generally require no sanding in-between coats.
Tip: We recommend adding 4-5 coats of clear gloss over the top of all colours for protection and a deeper glossy shine.
Use only in a well ventilated area. Suitable breathing apparatus should be worn
*Colour may vary slightly depending on number of coats applied, wood type and preparation method.

The Candy Apple kit, bought with white primer and sanding sealer, did exactly as promised. The colour and finish on my project build is great. The red is brighter and slightly lighter than my original Fender candy apple, which I think might be because some Fenders were over-sprayed on a Shoreline Gold base. The Inca Silver base looks terrific, but you might want to think about gold if you want a darker red.
Great quality at a great price
Drys well and goes on evenly
