Hi all,

I find myself in a dilemma about what clear coat to use and would appreciate any advise you may have.

I am planning to use rit dye for the maple veneer on my guitar body and duplicolor acrylic lacquer spray can paint for the sides and back. I thought of using Behlen Stringed Instrument Lacquer Gloss Nitro from GuitarAust but then also read about recommendations for the WhiteKnight Crystal Clear Acrylic Gloss. Are there any compatibility issues between these clear coats and the duplicolor paint? I would have gone for Behlen, but I can’t justify $35 a can as it is not something I’ll use often, unless it is much superior in the end result. The White Knight is available at Bunnings for $15.

Any other brands any of you have used or may recommend. Thanks.
