Can anybody help with Victorian suppliers of Nitro? Fender colours would help. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Mirotone is the main supplier of nitro in australia, its used primarily in the cabinet making industry, fender colour, mmm, I dont think so, you have to mix / stain your own colours up.

How do they supply it with fender colours. Or are you saying they mix it up for you there.

Durobond are able to duplicate Fender colours, and they'll ship it to you anywhere in Oz.

As I understand most all Fender colours had been select from Dupont's automotive paint catalogue of the time. Therefore matching is not a problem for most but then some of Dupont's tint code records did not survive the passage into the digital age so these would present much more of a challenge to match I suppose.

Cheers
