ColorTone Nitro Guitar Lacquer is specially formulated for the needs of stringed instruments
ColorTone Nitro Guitar Lacquer is specially formulated for the needs of stringed instruments. It's a hard, durable finish that's more flexible than standard furniture lacquer, allowing for the natural expansion and contraction that occurs when a guitar is exposed to humidity and temperature changes. ColorTone Lacquer is ready to spray with no thinning required, for faster finish build-up in multiple coats. Modern Clear lacquer creates an ultra clear finish without altering or dimming the color of your instrument, perfect for preserving the natural or stained color of tonewoods. This finish will not age and yellow at the same rate as our Traditional Aged lacquer (sold separately), meaning it will stay water clear much longer. Available in Gloss or Satin. ColorTone Lacquer works best when applied over ColorTone Vinyl Sealer (sold separately), ensuring maximum flexibility and a more even build when spraying. Supplied as a 1-quart can. One can goes a long way! One quart will finish: 1 acoustic guitar body and neck 2 entire mandolins 2 to 3 solid guitar or bass bodies 3 to 5 electric guitar or bass necks 4 ukuleles 2 to 3 dulcimers 2 to 3 banjo rims and necks NOTE: Keep in mind there are many application variables: your spray gun adjustments, PSI used, how heavy the coats are applied, number of coats, and desired thickness on your instrument. Lacquer products are flammable! They cannot be shipped outside the USA nor shipped by air within the USA. Nitro lacquer products should not be used with acrylic lacquers.
