Complete Nitrocellulose Guitar Finishing Kit - 3 Colour Sunburst

Complete 3-Colour Sunburst Nitrocellulose Finishing Kit

This kit contains everything required to apply a traditional 3-colour sunburst nitrocellulose finish to a guitar or bass body, using compatible products in the correct sequence. It’s designed to remove the guesswork from selecting individual aerosols and to ensure consistent results from surface preparation through to final clear coat.

All products in the kit are nitrocellulose-based and formulated to work together.

What’s included

• Nitrocellulose sanding sealer – for sealing the wood and providing a stable base
• Tobacco brown nitrocellulose colour – for warming the centre and transition areas
• Transparent red nitrocellulose colour – for the mid-band of the sunburst
• Black nitrocellulose colour – for the outer edge of the burst
• Clear gloss Nitrocellulose – for protection and final finish

These colours allow a traditional three-stage sunburst to be built up gradually, with the centre, transition, and edge colours applied separately before clear coating.

Who this kit is for

• First-time sunburst refinishing projects
• Full body refinishes
• Builders and repairers who want a single, compatible system
• Customers unsure which products to combine or in what order

This kit is intended for guitar and bass bodies. Coverage will vary depending on body size, spray technique, and number of coats applied.

Technical notes

• All aerosols are nitrocellulose-based
• Suitable for use on properly prepared bare wood or existing nitro finishes
• Products should be applied in the recommended order: sanding sealer → colour stages → clear gloss
• Adequate drying and curing times should be observed between coats
