What Rattlecans Are Nitro?

Question

Posted

I have a Strat body (yes, a real one) that I was thinking of stripping and refinishing. I painted my front door with this really cool seafoam color from rustolium. And I did such a great job on it I thought I would like to try it on this body. But, I'd also like to do it in nitro. Any nitro cans out there?

Practice on scrap, there's potential for compatibility and/or adhesion issues with the Rustoleum.

Deft makes rattlecan nitro

Mohawk makes spraycan nitro

Behlen makes all sorts of spray lacquers

Minwax black lacquer cans are nitro

Watco makes a spray nitro

 

Most of these labels shred into a zillion little pieces when you heat up the cans in warm water... those microscopic label particles can get into your finish...NOT GOOD!

ReRanch labels don't shred and the lacquer is the purest you can get... all of the above rattle cans have extra additive ingredients added to the lacquer... ReRanch is the purest nitro I've used.

Ohio Valley is identical to ReRanch IMHO.
