Purple Reign Nitrocellulose Guitar Paint / Lacquer Aerosol - 400ml
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.

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.
