I had an old Kramer that had Nitrocellulose lacquer and it turned yellow after about 12 years. I've used Duplicolor lacquer with SprayMax 2K clear and Alsa urethane with SprayMax 2K clear. My favorite is Alsa urethane paints with SprayMax 2K clear. If you use lacquer paints and a 2K clear, you still have to wait for the lacquer underneath to fully cure (that's even if you use a 2K clear on top) or else it will still be too soft to play and you'll develop all sorts of defects in your finish. The guitar below is not even a year old…
