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

Translucent colour lacquer with a glossy finish
400ml aerosol with eliptical nozzle
Reliable and easy to use - Aerosol produces a consistent fine spray
Each can is enough for 6-8 coats of a Telecaster sized body (depending on coat thickness) 

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.

VERY VERSATILE PAINT

WHAT IS REALLY AMAZING WITH THIS PAINT IS HOW YOU CAN GRADUATE THE INTENSITY OF THE COLOR COAT BY COAT....IS NOT VERY EASY AT IS SEEMS TO APPLY COATS...FOR ME NO PROBLEM BECAUSE I'M A MASTER PAINTER SO... BUT I RECOMMEND TO TRY BEFORE IN OTHER SURFACE UNTIL YOU GET THE TRICK ...THEN GOES LIKE BUTTER ...SAND WITH WATER SANDPAPER 600 OR LESS BETWEEN COATS (DON'T CARE WHAT THEY SAID) AND YOU WILL HAVE A FACTORY FINISHING

Vintage amber lacquer

I used the lacquer on the top face of an acoustic guitar I have been repairing. I got a matt finish which is what I was wanting.

Nitro Lacquer: An absolutely great product!

This is the first time I have used Nitro to refinish a headstock, and I did not realise how easy it is to use. It requires no sanding between coats and if you give it a good amount of time to cure. ( about two weeks) it polishes up to a superb finish and is indistinguishable from the original finish. So much better than modern alternatives. Oh and the can nozel clears very easily!
