Nitrocellulose Chip Repair/Touch-up Paint
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.
50ml of neat nitro
Each pot contains 50ml of neat nitrocellulose which can be applied directly to the wood surface.
This lacquer can be thinned with cellulose thinners if required though this is not necessary for scratch & chip repairs
*Colour may vary slightly dedending on number of coats applied, wood type and preperation method. Use only in a well ventilated area. Suitable breathing apparatus should be worn

Customer Reviews
Ordered the Dakota Red touch up pot firstly to check it was the right colour for my restoration of a “63” Hofner 182 solid bass before placing an order of the spray can equivalent, the colour is bang on and matches very well with the original factory finish buried under a poorly applied paint job by a previous owner.
I also found it very useful to fill minor marks and small dents prior to final sanding, needless to say I placed an order for a can of Dakota Red and Clear Satin to complete the job!
