dartfords - Rothko & Frost (UK) Nitro Lacquer (Coloured)
Available in handy 230ml cans, these are popular solid colours ie opaque topcoats (including typical Fender vintage colours).
Introducing Rothko and Frost (UK) nitro paint (sometimes known as nitrocellulose paint, nitro lacquer, cellulose paint, or guitar paint) as used on vintage cars and guitars from the 50s onwards. The nitro paint is of restoration quality and is just like the paint used on these original instruments and vehicles.
Available in a range of carefully matched historically accurate colours, solid colour nitrocellulose guitar and car paints are a top coat which can be polished directly to a high gloss finish.
Recommend applying over a white or grey cellulose base coat of sealer/primer.
For an aged tint, try using Lightest Brown or Weak Amber nitrocellulose lacquer on top.
Grey base coat of sealer/primer is recommended for reds, blues and blacks - white for everything else. (available in aerosols, 250ml or 1lt containers).
