Hi, First Post. I've been researching here for a while trying to decide on a finish for a guitar I am building.
I found some products that say they are lacquer (not nitro) that are used to build scale models. Some of the colors are very intriguing for what I want to do. They go a step further than Fender did into the automotive finishing genre.
The Testors Model Masters lacquer product line reproduces the classic GM / Mopar colors! Could be very cool on a guitar:

These are a more modern take on automotive finishes:

This hobby site says they can be used on wood

Do you think these products are OK to use on an guitar both short and long term?
I realize the cans are small, but I can deal with that.
Thanks!
