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

So I went and made a white guitar pink.

Paint has gone on well and now waiting to the end of month to run down with 2000 grit and polish to an inch of its life. Should look great when done

Excellent shade, goes on well.

I used mine on an ash body after the sanding sealer and without primer, to give a slightly translucent appearance. Good eventual result after I worked out that the room air was too cold and it wash solidifying before hitting the body... Would recommend.
