Nitrocellulose lacquer for guitars and more

The best nitrocellulose lacquer you can buy.

My name is Steve Robinson and I have been building and repairing electric guitars for almost 50 years, having built my first guitar from scratch in 1974. I believe that my lacquer is the best there is and my customers agree. If I didn’t think it the best, I wouldn’t sell it, simple as that. My cellulose lacquer is used by many professional and amateur guitar makers around the UK.

I supply some specialist colours unavailable elsewhere such as true bronze powder lacquer for authentic Gibson style goldtops.

I sell in convenient aerosols which produce excellent results, saving the hassle of having to buy, maintain and clean spray equipment.

Buy from someone who uses the product themselves; check out my blog posts to see just what is possible using the right spray cans. The lacquer is available in my shop and there is a wealth of demonstrations and tutorials in the site blog.

If you need advice about my products I am still available via my contacts page.
