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

Additional product information

• 400ml aerosol of nitrocellulose paint - Transparent Colour
• Faithful recreation of the original colours from the big F & Gibson

• One can is enough to cover a Telecaster style body with around 5-6 coats
• We recommend adding 4-5 coats of clear gloss over all finishes for protection & a deeper glossy shine

Great product and great support

Excellent product and really great help from the guys at NWG - the respray of my fender neck to a more vintage look was really easy to do. First time I've ever attempted something like this. Thanks!

Amber tinted nitrocellulose lacquer.

Great lacquer to obtain the aged look used on Fender vintage style instruments.
Applies smoothly, and is really easy to work with when dry.
