## Description

Product Description          Tinted nitrocellulose lacquer is coloured but see-through, so the grain shows through from underneath. It can be layered and mixed, and is great for creating a sunburst finish or for bringing out the spectacular figure in woods such as quilted and flamed maple. Tinted lacquer is a base coat which needs to be sealed in with a suitable clear top coat.Ours is the highest quality nitro' lacquer, which we have researched, tweaked and tested extensively before offering for sale. It gives an excellent thin finish as found on many vintage guitars and is great for use on restorations, acoustic guitars, vintage tribute guitar builds and more.             Safety Warning          Use only in a well ventilated area. Wear a suitable organic vapour filtered facemask. Wear eye and skin protection. Do not breathe vapour. In case of contact wash immediately with soapy water. If symptoms persist seek medical advice. Repeated and prolonged exposure can cause respiratory problems. Harmful to the unborn child. Flammable.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works really well
*by M***. on 16 October 2024*

Used this with the amber colour to make a nice cherry sunburst I think it worked pretty nicelyGranted you need many layers of clear coat to make it last

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very easy to use
*by R***R on 18 March 2025*

I used this to put three coats of vintage butterscotch colour on an ash bodied Telecaster, with an additional three coats of gloss lacquer from the same range. Couldn’t be happier with how it went on. It needs to cure for a few weeks before polishing, so the finish is currently satin, but it’s very consistent and I was able to get just the right amount of grain showing that I was aiming for. I used light coats and it was touch dry within 5 minutes.I was attempting to replicate the finish from the 60th Anniversary Telecaster in platinum blonde, and it’s come pretty close, so take a look at that if you want to know what shade this colour is.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality paint
*by J***B on 20 January 2025*

It is a good quality of paint as it looks good on my guitar and it is good for value of money and easy to apply onto things. The thickness of the paint is good when you give it a good shake and overall it’s good.
