Colors for vintage-inspired guitars
Black Gloss. Based on original Fender and Gibson colors. To develop our colors for guitars we have been based on original samples from the 50s and 60s. After great work and exhaustive study by our laboratory and technical department, we have achieved some colors for guitars that faithfully recreate the tones of vintage Fender and Gibson guitars to paint electric guitar. During those years until today, it should be borne in mind that guitar colors vintage have changed a lot over the years due to the aging of nitrocellulose lacquer and changes in the brands’ own colors. Therefore two guitars finished in 1960 with fender card colors today can be totally different between them or with respect to a more current guitar.
Application guide:
- We begin to apply the color once we have anchored the guitar with Nitorlack Primer.
- When we start the paint job the pores must be closed and the grain should not be marked.
- We apply the product either by spray or gun at about 25 cm.
- When we apply we must follow an application pattern, first horizontally and then vertically, applying the paint evenly.
- Apply several coats, letting dry between them about 24 hours and sanding between them, to remove any remaining impurities.
- This work will be completed when the surface is completely smooth and free of imperfections.
Frequently asked questions:
How many sprays do I need to varnish a guitar?
– If the surface is well covered and it is not your first project, you can do it with a spray, although you will not apply many coats. However if you are not an expert we recommend using 2 sprays for an optimal finish.
At what temperature should the guitar be during and after the process?
-For best results, we recommend applying it in a place whose temperature is between 15 and 25 degrees and between 45% and 60% humidity.
Where should I perform the process?
-A clean place will be essential, to prevent dirt or dust particles from adhering to the surface.
