ColorTone Black Aerosol Guitar Lacquer – The Easiest Way to Spray a Professional Finish!
Achieve a stunning, professional-quality finish with ColorTone Black Aerosol Guitar Lacquer. Specially formulated for musical instruments, this fast-drying nitrocellulose lacquer provides a durable, alcohol- and water-resistant coating that enhances both vintage and modern guitar finishes.
Two Rich Black Finishes for Versatile Applications:
Black Gloss: A deep, opaque black ideal for solid-color pegheads and bodies. Top with ColorTone Clear Lacquer for a sleek, high-gloss finish.
Sunburst Black: A semi-opaque black with a warm hue, perfect for creating the outer edge shading of a sunburst finish.
Designed for Luthiers & DIY Guitar Builders:
Easy Spray Application: No spray gun required—apply directly to smooth, unfinished wood or over basecoats of grain filler and ColorTone Sanding Sealer.
Rotating Tip Nozzle: Allows for horizontal or vertical spray patterns for precision application.
Touch-Ups or Full Finishing: Perfect for restoring vintage guitars, refinishing bodies and necks, or adding a sleek black finish to new builds.
Application Tips for a Smooth, Professional Finish:
Spray in Thin Coats: Multiple light coats in a low-humidity environment provide the best results.
Use a Sanding Sealer: One coat of heavy-bodied Sanding Sealer equals two coats of lacquer and helps seal the wood before applying black coats.
Layer with Clear Gloss: Spray just enough black to hide the wood—build up the final finish thickness with clear gloss topcoats.
Warm the Lacquer Before Spraying: Professional shops spray heated lacquer to prevent spattering. Simply soak your aerosol can in warm tap water for better results.
Perfect for Beginners & Professionals: Aerosol finishing is an economical and accessible way for beginners to achieve a professional finish, while experienced luthiers trust ColorTone for its consistency and high-quality results.
