400ml Nitrocellulose paint/lacquer

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

Specification

Transparent lacquer with a glossy finish
400ml aerosol with eliptical nozzle
Reliable and easy to use - Aerosol produces a consistent fine spray
Each can is enough for 6-8 coats of a Telecaster sized body (depending on coat thickness) 

These paints and lacquers are very easy to apply and generally require no sanding in-between coats.

Tip: We recommend adding 4-5 coats of clear gloss over the top of all colours for protection and a deeper glossy shine.

Use only in a well ventilated area. Suitable breathing apparatus should be worn 

*Colour may vary slightly depending on number of coats applied, wood type and preparation method.

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

Like glass!

Easy spraying and is touch dry in about 15 minutes. Just as well because several coats are needed to build up a good gloss finish. But when this finish is polished, it looks like glass. It's so shiny!
