Anilin Dye, LIQUID, 100ml (3.38 oz), var. colors

Vintage (Gibson) guitars of the "golden age" were finished using ANILIN DYES that were solved in nitro solvent and added to the lacquer for creating a sunburst finish.

We offer this vintage style dye for the engaged replica-maker who wants to use vintage correct materials.

As solving vintage-style anilin dye powder can be a bit tricky (and messy) we offer for the lazy luthier who wants to save time and mixing-issues LIQUID anilin dyes, ready-to-go out of the bottle.

This is the same anilin dye we offer as powder, just solved in NC lacquer solvent and filtered and filled up.

Comes in 100ml (3.38 fl. oz) PE-bottle, heavy cut/concentrate, you can mix all our anilin dye-colors for getting your desired look. High concentrate, you may need to add NC solvent for a less intense color.

Depending on the color-mix and your finishing-attitude this 100ml bottle is good for the finish of approx. 15 sunburst jobs.

Using just Canary Yellow + clear NC lacquer results in the right color for a vintage 1958 Flying V replica.

Caution: unlike some other (modern) Anilin dyes this vintage-style product fades when being exposed to UV, esp, Cherry Red fades well! No issue but a feature, just like the vintage stuff.

Depending on the final color you are going for you may need to add (just a bit) blue and black to the Cherry Red dye for getting the typical "Gibson Cherry Red".
