Need a source for spray can Niro lacquer in Germany!

[Walkingmanblues]

Hello everyone, I know this is a long shot, but here goes anyway: I'm an American recently transplanted to Germany, and I'm having trouble finding a source for instrument grade nitrocellulose lacquer (has to come in a spray can) for my strat finishing project. The problem may simply be that short of ordering a beer or a meal in a restaurant, or telling the taxi driver to pull over on the way home so I can vomit, my German language skills aren't the best. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Alternatively, if you can think of a way for me to get the stuff from an American source over here--somehow circumventing the shipping restrictions--that would be great too.

Thanks

I remain, etc.,

Good luck!

Woops - the only nitrocellulose product on that page is a clear basecoat.  The solid lacquers are acrylic.  Sorry about that.

Might be interesting if you're willing to go with a non-nitro lacquer, though - they seem to have a lot of colors.

Actually, what I'm thinking about doing is a clear nitro coat over stain on the raw wood. Maybe their "Zapon" Lacquer might work? Any thoughts?

Where are you in Germany?  I have been trying to find someplace to buy Nitro as well for a couple finishing projects I want to undertake this winter.  I can't brew beer all winter long...

I am at Ramstein BTW...

Assuming you mean Ramstein AFB, why not get somebody headed there from Stateside to pick up a case of Deft from HomeDepot or Ace Hardware and hand carry it via AF transport?

How about Vox Humana http://www.voxhumanawebstore.nl/webstore/ ?? It's in the Netherlands, not Germany, but it should be doable for a day trip from the Frankfurt area.

Wish that were possible, but the powers that be have REALLY cracked down on that.

Also in The Netherlands but definitely cheaper. I wouldn't do the daytrip thing because that´s a lot of gasoline for a couple of cans.
I´ve ordered there a couple of times. They made an error once or twice sending me the wrong parts but they were extremely helpful in fixing that, sending me a string winder and a handful of picks as a free bonus to make up for the inconvenience.

River, I found some spray cans of Nitro for a reasonable price at http://www.gitarrenbastler.de/. I'm over by Frankfurt, by the way, but I'm in the K-town area on a regular basis.
