Color Tone Lacquer

Post by Bob Gleason »

Here in Hawaii, getting flammable finishes is not easy, or cheap. Shipping can be more than the material. I use Sherwin Williams Nitro, but don't like it all that much. The last time I got Cardinal, the Hazmat shipping on 4 gallons was over $250.00. Stew-Mac is one of the few that will ship lacquer to Hawaii. Interested in hearing a report on how Color Tone Nitro works. Thanks, Bob

I used the Color Tone Lacquer to do the burst on this guitar.
More clear went on after this pic.

I was pretty happy with it. I only use it in the summer when the conditions are good for spraying outside.
