Northwest Guitars Professional Nitrocellulose Guitar Paints are crafted for luthiers, restorers, and hobbyists seeking authentic finishes. Used on early Fender and Gibson guitars, this premium formula delivers vintage tones and aesthetics. Over time, it develops a natural patina with sought-after checking and cracking effects, capturing the character of classic instruments.

With colours inspired by legendary models like Butterscotch Blonde, Lake Placid Blue, and Pelham Blue, this paint allows you to recreate iconic finishes or craft unique designs. Its thin, resonant finish enhances tone and appearance, perfect for vintage restorations or custom builds.

Each 400ml aerosol includes an elliptical nozzle for precision application and provides enough paint for 5-6 coats. Once dried, the finish can be polished and buffed to a glossy shine, showcasing your instrument’s beauty.

Northwest Guitars Nitrocellulose Paints combine durability, authenticity, and exceptional results for guitar finishing projects.

Stunning Purple!

I made six kit guitars last year that I finished with stain and wipe on poly. Four with Northwest Amber stain. For this Harley Benton lefty Strat style kit I wanted a rich purple colour so I thought I would try a spray nitro finish. It was a different experience as I was in my garage suitably protected with the doors open. It was cold, not ideal conditions but I’m very happy with my outcome. I made a few mistakes so It wouldn’t stand up close scrutiny but far from a failure. The excess paint on the headstock ran to form quite an interesting design!
I think I gave six coats which has given a deep vibrant purple which was exactly what I wanted. I finished with clear lacquer.
Another great Northwest finishing product.
