Product Description
About This Item
Looking to give your guitar a professional and durable finish? Look no further than ColorTone Modern Clear Satin Nitrocellulose Guitar Lacquer. Specifically formulated for stringed instruments, this lacquer is the perfect choice for preserving the natural beauty and color of your instrument's tonewoods. Unlike standard furniture lacquer, ColorTone Lacquer is designed to be more flexible, allowing for the natural expansion and contraction that occurs when a guitar is exposed to changes in humidity and temperature. This ensures that your instrument remains protected and looking its best for years to come. The Modern Clear lacquer provides an ultra clear finish without altering or dimming the color of your instrument.
It's the ideal choice for those who want to showcase the natural or stained color of their tonewoods. Plus, unlike our Traditional Aged lacquer, this finish won't yellow or age as quickly, meaning it will stay water clear for much longer. One quart of ColorTone Lacquer goes a long way, making it a cost-effective option for finishing your guitar. Depending on the size of your instrument, one can is enough to finish multiple acoustic guitars, mandolins, solid guitar or bass bodies, electric guitar or bass necks, ukuleles, dulcimers, banjo rims, and necks.
For the best results, we recommend applying ColorTone Lacquer over ColorTone Vinyl Sealer (sold separately). This will ensure maximum flexibility and a more even build when spraying. Please note that lacquer products are flammable and cannot be shipped outside the USA or by air within the USA. Additionally, nitrocellulose lacquer products should not be used with acrylic lacquers. Give your guitar the professional finish it deserves with ColorTone Modern Clear Satin Nitrocellulose Guitar Lacquer.
Order yours today and see the difference it can make in the appearance and durability of your instrument.
Customer Questions & Answers
-
Question:
What is ColorTone Modern Clear Satin Nitro Guitar Lacquer used for?
Answer: ColorTone Modern Clear Satin Nitro Guitar Lacquer is designed specifically for finishing and protecting wooden musical instruments, particularly guitars. This lacquer provides a durable, high-quality finish that enhances the wood's grain while delivering a smooth, satin sheen. It's an ideal choice for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts looking to achieve a professional-grade look on electric, acoustic, or bass guitars, ensuring that the instrument not only looks great but also is well-protected against wear and tear. -
Question:
How do I apply ColorTone Nitro Lacquer for best results?
Answer: For optimal application of ColorTone Nitro Lacquer, prepare your surface by sanding it down and making it clean. Use a spray gun for an even coat, holding it about 12 inches from the surface. Apply multiple thin coats instead of one thick coat, allowing adequate drying time between applications to achieve a smooth finish. This method minimizes runs and drips, ensuring a flawless application that enhances your instrument's appearance. Always work in a well-ventilated area to ensure safety while applying. -
Question:
Can I use this lacquer on other surfaces besides guitar wood?
Answer: Yes, ColorTone Modern Clear Satin Nitro Guitar Lacquer can be used on various wooden surfaces besides guitars, such as furniture or cabinetry. Its versatility makes it a great choice for woodworking projects where a durable and aesthetically pleasing finish is desired. However, ensure the wood is compatible with nitrocellulose finishes and properly prepared beforehand. This lacquer can elevate the look of any wooden project, making it suitable for both decorative and practical applications. -
Question:
What are the drying times for ColorTone Nitro Lacquer?
Answer: ColorTone Nitro Lacquer typically dries to the touch in about 30 minutes to an hour, depending on environmental conditions like temperature and humidity. However, for full curing, it may take several days. To enhance the drying process, ensure proper ventilation and moderate temperatures. Understanding these drying times can help you schedule your finishing work without introducing dust or debris into the lacquer, resulting in a cleaner final product. -
Question:
Is ColorTone Satin Nitro Lacquer safe to use?
Answer: Yes, ColorTone Modern Clear Satin Nitro Guitar Lacquer is manufactured with safety in mind. However, it’s important to use it in a well-ventilated area, as it contains solvents that can emit fumes. Always wear proper personal protective equipment, such as gloves and masks, to safeguard against inhalation. Safety precautions are essential to ensure that the application process is as safe as possible, especially for long or repeated applications. -
Question:
Can I mix ColorTone Nitro Lacquer with other finishes?
Answer: It’s generally not recommended to mix ColorTone Nitro Lacquer with other types of finishes, such as polyurethane or acrylics, as this can lead to compatibility issues. Nitro finishes are designed to be used alone to achieve the best results. If you are looking to create a custom color or sheen, consider using ColorTone color pigments or tints specifically designed for nitro lacquer, which will maintain the integrity of the finish while achieving your desired look. -
Question:
How do I maintain the finish after applying this lacquer?
Answer: To maintain the finish of your instrument after applying ColorTone Nitro Lacquer, regularly clean the surface using a soft cloth and mild cleaners designed for lacquer finishes. Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the finish. Additionally, keep the instrument away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight, which can cause the lacquer to craze or crack over time. Implementing these care tips will help preserve the beauty and integrity of your lacquer finish. -
Question:
Can ColorTone Nitro Lacquer be used for outdoor items?
Answer: While ColorTone Modern Clear Satin Nitro Guitar Lacquer can withstand some environmental factors, it's primarily intended for indoor use. Nitro finishes are less stable under UV exposure and other outdoor conditions, which can lead to fading or degradation. If you’re looking to finish an outdoor item, consider using marine-grade or other specially formulated outdoor finishes that offer more durability against the elements for long-lasting results. -
Question:
What tools do I need to apply ColorTone Nitro Lacquer?
Answer: To apply ColorTone Nitro Lacquer effectively, you will need a spray gun or airbrush for even distribution, quality sandpaper for surface preparation, and clean brushes for touch-ups. Additionally, gloves and a mask are essential to protect your skin and respiratory system during application. Employing the right tools ensures a smooth and professional-grade finish, helping you achieve the best results on your instrument or woodworking project. -
