We use for finisching special vintage correct (pure) nitrocellulose lacquer without plastinizers, no pre-catalyzing etc., just the vintage correct stuff that will CRACK by the time ... this is custom made for us by a small German company and not available anywhere else. We offer this exclusively now for the first time to the public for 25 Euro/liter (plastinizer available separate for own mixing if a NOS look is aimed for).
