3 Colour Sunburst Nitrocellulose Paint Kit - 400ml
Pickup available at Northwest Guitars
Usually ready in 1 hour
Achieve the iconic 3-colour sunburst finish with our premium nitrocellulose paint kit, perfect for vintage and modern guitar projects. This kit includes three 400ml aerosols:
• Vintage Amber: Provides the warm, glowing centre for your burst.
• Transparent Red: Adds a rich, classic depth to the mid-layer.
• Black: Creates the bold outer edge for a timeless sunburst look.
This is the same type of lacquer used on vintage Fender and Gibson guitars which, over time, will produce an aged, tarnished look to your instrument. These are true lacquers used by top guitar makers since the 1950s. They dry very quickly and create a hard glassy finish, unlike other “pre-cat” lacquers
These paints and lacquers are easy to apply and generally require no sanding between coats.
Use only in a well-ventilated area. Suitable breathing apparatus should be worn
