Top it off with Clear Gloss for a sleek shine, or spray with Clear Satin for a vintage look and faster feel. ColorTone® Aerosol Guitar Lacquer is formulated especially for musical instruments. Fast-drying and resistant to alcohol and water, it produces a hard, durable finish. Add clear coats of ColorTone Clear Lacquer for a deep, sleek gloss. ColorTone® Aerosols can be sprayed over smooth unfinished wood; over sanded grain filler; over sanding sealer or vinyl sealer, and over ColorTone Stains. Spray additional coats of Mohawk Nitrocellulose or ColorTone Clear Aerosol Guitar Lacquer over the coloured coat for a hard, durable finish. A complete guitar typically requires 1 can of sealer, 1 can of white, and 4-6 cans of clear topcoat. Aerosol spraying is an economical way for the beginner to apply a finish. Aerosols produce a slightly rougher surface than spray guns however, and more sanding of the clear topcoats may be needed for a level finished surface. Tinted coats should not be sanded.

Details

Like all lacquers of this type it is extremely important to read the safety instructions and Material Safety Data Sheet. This product has strong fumes so it is important to spray in a ventilated area and use a respirator mask designed for spray paint. It is also highly flammable.

Tips for aerosol finishing:
- Use warm lacquer, not cold. Professionals spray warm lacquer to reduce spatters which require sanding. Warm your aerosol cans in a sink of warm tap water.
- Spray multiple thin coats instead of one heavy coat.
- Use sanding sealer to seal the wood and build up the finish before applying your color coats or clear topcoats. Sanding sealer is heavy-bodied; one coat equals two coats of lacquer. One or two cans of sealer is usually enough for an entire guitar. After building up the sealer coats, level sand with 320-grit paper to create a thin, flat surface for your color or clear coats.
-Spray only enough black to hide the wood; most of the final finish thickness should be sprayed with clear gloss topcoats.
- Compared to professional spray guns, aerosols create a slightly rougher surface, so they require more sanding of the clear topcoats to achieve a level surface.
- Tints and transparent colors should not be sanded. Spray clear coats over tints to build a topcoat which can be sanded for a final, level surface.
- Choose low humidity days for spraying.
