The design that would become the Classic Lacquer Tornado first appeared in the 1999 catalog with 7 colors. In 2002 there were 9 colors. When the 2000 and 2001 catalogs come on-line, this information can be updated.

In 2004 they were listed as Classic Rollerball along with 3 colors later called softtouch lacquer.

In 2005 10 colors were listed as Classic Lacquers. This was the first official use of the term Classic Lacquer.

Changed Colors[edit]

In 2014, VRR-1318 retained the name Ice Blue but was reformulated to a darker shade. It went from a sky blue to a steel blue.

In 2017, VRR-1307 changed names from Blue to True Blue along with changing the shade of blue. The original Blue leaned a little bit to purple while True Blue lives up to the name.

New Colors[edit]

In 2010, two new colors, Purple and Ice Blue, were introduced. They have remained in the catalog since then. In 2011, a White Lacquer model was introduced but only lasted one year.
