Nitrocellulose for Spray Guns

Bulk-tin nitrocellulose lacquer and paint from Dartfords, sized for spray-gun work. If you're spraying production batches, refinishing a vintage neck, or running a finishing booth, tin formats give you finer control over thinning and viscosity than aerosols allow.

Have a browse through our spray-gun range. You'll find clear lacquers, tinted see-through colours for sunburst effects, solid colour paints and specialist finishes, the spray-gun complement to our nitrocellulose guitar lacquer aerosols. Pair with guitar neck lacquers, primers and sanding sealers, finishing solvents and thinners, and the finishing sundries you'll need on the bench.

Stuck on a step? We've been there! For the trade-offs between traditional nitrocellulose and modern alternatives, see our guide to choosing between nitro, acrylic and polyurethane. The rest of the blog covers viscosity, spray-gun setup, and the cut-back-and-polish sequence that lifts a finish.
