Nitrocellulose Paints & Lacquers

Achieve authentic vintage and professional finishes with Rothko and Frost's range of Nitrocellulose Paints & Lacquers. Esteemed by luthiers, guitar builders, furniture restorers, and vintage enthusiasts worldwide, nitrocellulose lacquer is renowned for its thin film build, excellent resonance on musical instruments, and its unique ability to age gracefully over time, developing a desirable patina and characteristic checking. Our selection offers a wide palette of classic and custom solid colours, vibrant metallics, clear topcoats (in gloss and satin sheens), and tinted lacquers perfect for achieving aged or sunburst effects. Available in convenient aerosol cans for easy application and bulk tins for professional spray gun use. For optimal results and adhesion, ensure thorough surface preparation (including the use of appropriate grain fillers and sanding sealers, found in our other specialist finishing categories) and follow recommended safety precautions when spraying. Protect and beautify your work with traditional nitrocellulose. Shop the full range online.
