Anilin Dye, POWDER, 8 gr. (0.28 oz), var. colors

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

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

Comes in 8 gr. (approx. 0.28 oz) lots, good for converting into 600ml (20.28 oz) concentrated dye for mixing or using directly to the NC lacquer.

Solves best in NC thinner/solvent or alcohol spirits like 99.9% Ehtanol, does not solve well in Aceton.

After solving there might be some residues left on the bottom of the bottle you used for the solving process: this is not an issue but common with vintage dyes, use a screen for clearing.

available colors:

Color Code 9999: Cherry Red

Color Code 8855: Magenta Red

Color Code 8845: Canary Yellow

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

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