I have expanded my custom colour for custom order guitar bodies only. Ask for the list to be sent to you for over 100 finishes.
*Currently not taking any custom orders or Paisley orders due to large back log. May open back up in the future.
****Paisley finishes Timeline is subject to current backlog in orders and not a fixed date. You will be notified before shipping. I am not completely caught up from my father's retirement. Please refrain from asking for updates. I can either be answering emails or finishing instruments, but not both. I am unfortunately not a factory and these take a great deal of time. Just for a reference, other "good" professional Paisley finishers in North America are 1-2 year wait.
The blue flower finish may be available in the near future once caught up.
*Custom colour matches are running around a week to 2 weeks.
Start with "Shop All" to get all of your colours, finishing products and finishing services available.
We can match any colour you need. (Even to pictures provided) Prices can be found under Custom Orders. This is also available for custom bodies.
Please read everything thoroughly on our website and familiarize yourself with our services, timelines and process.

A full walk through of the finishing process for DIYers can be found under "The Finishing Process".
If you have any questions regarding finishing please EMAIL me.
Our Products
These are professional grade finishing products. Made available to even the DIY market through custom filling. After years of developing and creating North Americas best colours we've developed a system to offer them to everyone. We have our own aerosol filling machine for the DIY builders or standard tins for professional builders. We aren't your everyday retail store. Everything is mixed and made fresh when ordered.
All of our lacquers are now available in custom filled aerosols, 4oz, 8oz , *Quart and *Gallon variations. Our lacquer is the highest quality in North America and is supplied ready to spray. This ensures you have the best nitrocellulose possible and the right amount for any project you may have. Whether you are a first time finisher or a professional builder we have exactly what you need to get the job done right with the right colours. We've done everything from guitars, motorcyles, cars to custom paintings.
We are the only shop in North America to mix and fill orders fresh when ordered. You can be assured you're getting fresh products that haven't been sitting on a shelf for over a year. Every order with us truly is a custom order filled just for you.
A lot of years and attention to detail have gone into our colours and finishing products. There isn't a shop around that provides what we can provide for your build as far as finishing goes.
Please feel free to browse our large selections of finishing products, colours and custom guitar parts to set your build apart from others.
