Nitrocellulose Lacquers

Nitrocellulose Lacquers

"

The classic finish for guitars, vintage furniture and high-quality woodwork. Our nitrocellulose lacquer and paint range from Dartfords includes 190 products — clear lacquers, tinted see-through colours, solid opaque paints, metallics and specialty finishes like our easycrack aged lacquer.

Nitrocellulose is the finish of choice for luthiers and guitar builders because it dries thin, allows the wood to resonate, and develops character as it ages. It's also reversible — future repairs can be blended seamlessly, unlike polyurethane. Available as 400ml aerosols for spray-and-go convenience, and in tins for spray gun application.
