craigjf1969 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Hi all,does anybody know the cheapest place to buy an aerosol can of clear lacquer...does B+Q do it or will it be an online purchase?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyJohnson Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Get down to Halfords...couldn't find what I needed at Homebase/B&Q. It's not expensive...I bought three cans of red and a clearcoat and it was around £20.00 for the lot. P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary mac Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I've used this seller [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Clear-GLOSS-Nitrocellulose-Nitro-Guitar-Lacquer-400ml-Aerosol-Vintage-Finish-/190575441601?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&hash=item2c5f2e76c1"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Clear-GLOSS-Nitrocellulose-Nitro-Guitar-Lacquer-400ml-Aerosol-Vintage-Finish-/190575441601?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&hash=item2c5f2e76c1[/url] Don't know if they are the cheapest but the service and products are very good.

Prosebass Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 (edited) I have used Plasticote on a few builds, and being acrylic it is easy to apply if you are not used to spray finishes. As with all coatings test first before attacking your bass B&Q stock it or you can get the industrial strength version online.

silentbob Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Sorry to hijack, but while we're on the subject of lacquers, I'm looking to paint my bass in a satin black finish, what type of lacquer if any should i use on this (are there matt lacquers available)?
