Sunburst Nitrocellulose Lacquer Kit
1 can Yellow, 1 can Red, 1 can Black.

This kit can be used to apply a classic 'Sunburst' finish to guitar bodies. Start with a base of the yellow, then a ring of red over that around the outside, followed by the black around the edges.

Each colour is a translucent tint as opposed to a solid colour. As such some of the grain will still be visible, and the 'black' around the outside will actually be a very very dark aubergine (eggplant/purple) colour; this is just like the original vintage instruments.

Tinted and coloured lacquers should be sealed in with a clear top coat, such as our Clear Gloss or Satin Nitrocellulose Lacquer, to preserve their tone and consistency.

Light Brown (Amber/Brown/Tobacco) Tinted Nitrocellulose Lacquer.

Vintage Relic Tint

This lacquer has a light brown / amber / tobacco tint to it and is ideal for giving a vintage aged look to guitars.

It can be used on wood (over a base of sanding sealer) or over cellulose paintwork, where it gives a similar effect to aged yellowed nitrocellulose.

The tint should be built up gradually in light mist coats until the desired level of tint is achieved. The more you put on, the darker it gets! Building it up over a number of layers will also ensure a smooth even finish.

The tint can also be rubbed back in places before coating to similate natural wear.

This tint should be applied before any of waterslide decals to ensure an even colour.

WHITE cellulose sanding sealer / primer.

This is a combination cellulose sanding sealer / primer formulated for use on wood, to be used after grain filler and before painting. It is compatible with cellulose and acrylic paint, and nitrocellulose and acrylic lacquer.

Perfect for preparing guitar bodies befor painting. Being a combination eliminates one step of the process making it easier and quicker.

The sanding sealer part of it builds up the surface to eliminate the grain and allows it to be sanded back to an exceptionally smooth base for paint to be applied to. Its white tint means you don't need any other primer, paint can be applied directly on top; all of this allows for a very thin total finish.

Please be aware being an aerosol product this is not 'high build', it will take a number of coats to build it up. One can will do approximately one guitar body.

Remember, proper surface preparation is key to getting an excellent final finish!
