NIKH25 Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 Thanks mate, it doesn't look so bad in the rain at the moment. I will get it better though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakey135 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Did you de-grease before the lacquer pal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 Did you de-grease before the lacquer pal? Yep, rubbed down then de-greased. I think Dean's spotted the problem, I don't think the can was warm enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakey135 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Must say i've never warmed my cans... May have to start by the sounds of things!! Will see how my lacquer has gone down tomorrow morning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Looks good from pics mate. I wondered too about lacquer. I've been painting my spare tailgate and that also has a orange peel thing going on in the lacquer. I cleaned between layers with brake cleaner as someone here mentioned. May try warming as well then hey. Looking pretty darn good after a polish mate! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still sounds a bit big a job to tackle though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
