Nitrocellulose Chip Repair/Touch-up PaintWe 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 These paints and lacquers are very easy to apply and generally require no sanding in-between coats.

Each pot contains 50ml of neat nitrocellulose which can be applied directly to the wood surface.
This lacquer can be thinned with cellulose thinners if required though this is not necessary for scratch & chip repairs

*Colour may vary slightly depending on number of coats applied, wood type and preparation method. Use only in a well ventilated area. Suitable breathing apparatus should be worn

nitro cellulose wine red

I put 2 coats primer on before I put the lacquer on - I thought that would stop any colour underneath from showing through
When I put the lacquer on, it came out very dark and I made several attempts
( trying to sand off the dark colour for example but no success .

Hi Dave. Thanks for the review. This is a transparent colour so if you're using this on top of an existing finish then that colour is going to be visible to a certain degree through this paint. If you want to completely block the colour from showing then you would apply a primer (as you have done) but you'd have to make sure that you cant see the previous finish through that before proceeding.

If you're unhappy with how dark the colour is you can thin it and apply much thinner coats. This way you can build up the coats gradually, with each application causing the finish to darken slightly. You can then stop applying coats once you get to a shade you're happy with.

hope that helps :)
