## Description

Classic 1950s guitar colors in easy aerosolsGenuine nitro guitar lacquer—no spray equipment needed! Fast-drying, durable finish resists water and alcohol.Colors based on aged original guitarsVintage finishes vary a lot. Two guitars sprayed together in 1960 look very different today, depending on where they've been all these years. And neither one looks like the day it left the factory.To get an authentic look for our finishes, Erick Coleman color-matched original guitars. Aged Clear lacquer replicates a 1964 Tele neck. It's a clear coat aged with a tinge of brown (not yellow/amber)."I see a lot of vintage guitars in my shop. Most aerosols don't really come close to looking like the colors they are intended to. These new ColorTone finishes nail the look of vintage beauties I've had on my bench."—Erick Coleman, guitar repairman and StewMac tech advisorColorTone® Classic Colors Aerosols can be sprayed over smooth unfinished wood; over sanded grain filler; over sanding sealer, and over ColorTone Stains. Add topcoats of ColorTone Clear Aerosol Guitar Lacquer for a deep hard gloss.A complete guitar typically requires 1 can of sealer, 1 can of color, and 4-6 cans of clear topcoat.For best results, 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.13-ounce aerosol cans.

Review: True, Rich, Nitro Colors - Absolutely essential for recreating the exact colors found on your American made guitars made in association with one Lester Paul! They have a couple different colors of the black and shouldn’t have an issue in deciphering which one is suitable. My first introduction was for a Gibson SG Supreme nonetheless and found the color to be exact and rich. Please note, if you wish to maintain the integrity of the serial number, cover it up after the first coat with painters tape then blend it upon wet sanding.
Review: Excellent Product Excellent Company - Excellent product. I restore guitars and I love this product. I also have purchased many other Stew Mac luthier products and they are a fine company.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I use nitro laquer over acrylic laquer**
A: Thanks for your question. Nitrocellulose and acrylic are not compatible finishes, so it is not recommended to use nitro over acrylic.

**Q: can I apply this aged clear lacquer over a previous clear lacquer coat and get the same aged tone described??**
A: Thanks for your question.  If your existing clear lacquer coat is nitrocellulose, then spraying the ColorTone Aged Clear will work out just fine and  will give you an aged, vintage look.  Just scuff sand the existing lacquer with 320-grit sandpaper, and your good to go. If the existing finish is NOT nitrocellulose, though, you will not be able to use this product. I hope this helps.

**Q: Compatible with a new model Squier satin neck finish?**
A: Yes. I have lacquered 2 Squier necks this year, with this product. Great product to give it a more vintage look, when upgrading a Squier.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ AWESOME!!!
*by J***Y on March 21, 2025*

I got this for a Telecaster build that I wanted to have that vintage look. I couldn't be more happy. It was easy to apply, dries quick, the nozzle is easy to use and sprays a great pattern, and it looks awesome. Would buy again for a future build. A+.
