ColorTone Tinted Aerosol Guitar Lacquer

It's actually true, you CAN get a factory finish right out of a can! Used less than one can to do TWO guitars, aceiving a PERFECT MATCH to factory Gibson SG finish. VERY IMPRESSED!!

A little medium brown dye mixed with amber dye sprayed with vintage amber makes a solid butterscotch.

Color is nice, but the spray nozzle is terrible. Spits and sputters even after heating the can to 90 degrees. Can't clear the nozzle after spraying as it always spits out a bit more lacquer as you stop the spray when upside down. Tried using a nozzle off of another type of spray lacquer, but it wouldn't fit these cans. Will never buy again.

I found myself in a quandary when I wanted to add a 16" floor tom to my drum kit, but my kit's model had been discontinued for several years. I ended up taking the plunge based on an article I read to try to do an aerosol can fade finish and to build my own floor tom to match my drums. To that end, I feel I did a pretty good job.

The colors I used were Vintage Amber and Red Mahogany. To get the finish smooth on the fade, I put together a spinning platform with a lazy susan bearing and piece of plywood. This allowed me to maintain steady distance from my work surface and it also allowed for a very even application of the product.

It's not a perfect match - I ended up doing the fade a little higher than I should have, but it does more than pass close scrutiny - no one knows that this drum didn't come with my kit unless I point it out, and then when I do, they are amazed by the finish.

As a side note, I didn't use the StewMac clear as my top coat - for that I used another brand because I had used it before with great success, but for the colors, I think you'll agree they did the job nicely.

I bought the vintage amber tinted lacquer to add some depth to a spalted maple top. It was much more yellow than I expected and the spray quality was poor. The lacquer I usually use is a better quality spray nozzle. I will think hard about buying again.

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.
