That's a tricky one Bill. Yes it is tintable but it the shellac doesn't go on very evenly. That makes getting an even color coat with shellac very difficult. It can be sprayed as well, which helps get an even coat. But when spraying you need to use VERY thin coat. So there is a whole other set of challenges when spraying toned shellac. I've even tried adding pigments to shellac (that didn't work out very well )!

I you want to keep your life simple, just use it for your sanding sealer.
