ColorTone Tinted Aerosol Guitar Lacquer

I ordered and used the tinted laquer to refinish my vintage Earl Scruggs Gibson banjo neck. I read the directions to the letter including heating the spray before using it and can only rave at what a difference it makes. Not only does it fill better the the finish is like a mirror. I will be heating all the spray cans I use now on everything, thanks for the tip and good products.

This is my second project using the ColorTone Aerosol Cans.....People laugh when I tell them I used "Rattle_Cans" for the Finish.Then they see the end result and they say-"Wow"!

This was my first time ever doing a sunburst finish and this product was able to get me great results. There was little to no spatter when spraying when the cans where warmed. These cans are the best way to go without buying high end spray equipment.

I recently used your Vintage Amber Aerosol Lacquer and I have to say it is definately the easiest spray can I have ever used. I cannot say enough about how good the finish came out and I am no professional by any stretch of the imagination. I have tried other brands but from now on I will not waste my time. I will only use your Colortone Tinted Aerosol Sprays.

Takes a bit of practice to know what it will do. Have bought many cans. Always consistent color and quality. Applies best when can is warmed to at least room temperature. Can be used to spray light to really dark stain. Looks great on my necks! Wish they could lower the price but I guess that is an incentive to learn your application technique quickly! Will buy again. Very satisfied. Thank you.

These are great paints, and getting the tri-color starburst design was really not that hard at all. If you are thinking about doing a starburst, this is the product for you.

Follow the instructions in the sidebar on the StewMac page, give the lacquers a nice warm bath, and the application will be a pleasant experience. Suggest you sand the guitar very well beforehand with at least 600 grit, and then have patience, patience, patience. I can't wait to buff this guitar out! Spray it outside or your wife will never let you live it down.

First thing I ordered from Stew Mac that I wish I hadn't bought. Pretty dark, builds really quickly but nice color. Hard to keep transparent especially with all the sputtering. Sputtering was unmanageable - even after warming can.
No problem with the clear coats.

I purchased several colors of Colortone lacquer to restore the finish on an old guitar. It worked well. A little testing on scrap wood and I was ready to spray the guitar which turned out well.

The quality of the finish is wonderful but the tint of amber is a crap shoot from can to can. It ranges from slightly banana to Listerine. It needs to be a consistent caramel color. I'm still thankful it is available at the price.

MY SECOND SUNBURST IS COMPLETED. I PICKED UP A BEAT UP PINK (METALIC SUNSET)1987 GIBSON LES PAUL CUSTOM ON EBAY FOR $1100.00 KNOWING THAT THESE RATTLE CANS WOULD TAKE ME WHERE I NEEDED TO GO. I AM VERY PLEASED WITH MY RESULTS. THE COLORS ARE GREAT BUT YOU NEED TO PRACTICE BEFORE YOU GO HOT. I READ ALL THE INTERNET INFO AND WATCHED THE PROS DO SPRAYS ON YOUTUBE RIGHT BEFORE I SPRAYED MINE. I WOULD RECOMMEND THESE LACQUERS FOR BEGINNERS TO PRO. EASY TO USE AND GREAT RESULTS.
