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

Clear Gloss Lacquer

Product info suggested would do 4 or 5 coats on a Strat. I was spraying a small parlour guitar 1930's Coletti, unfortunately way short of a achieving a full gloss, will have to buy another can.

Paint was unfortunately a wrong colour

The spray arrived on time. Paint was more of Olympic whiten then white blonde
