Northwest Guitars
Nitrocellulose Guitar Paint / White Primer Aerosol 400ml
Pickup available at Northwest Guitars
Usually ready in 1 hour
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
These paints and lacquers are very easy to apply and generally require no sanding in between coats.
Use only in a well-ventilated area. Suitable breathing apparatus should be worn
