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

Nitrocellulose lacquer aerosols

I was not expecting great things from these paints, based on my experiences with paints from other companies. I was so pleasantly surprised. These Nitro lacquer sprays are great. They make even an amateur like me look good. The sanding sealer, primer, gloss and clear all work as described. I'm so pleased with the results. Thank you Northwest for a great product, honest descriptions in your adverts and helpful articles on the website.

My first time

I have never used spray painting or built a guitar before. The spray head with adjustable nozzle and also the videos on YouTube has really set me on a winning course. By far the best experience I could ask for
