Lacquer

[NIKH25]

Well, I let my paint dry and then lacquered and it didn't turn out very well.

On my spoiler that is. Worked fine on my wheels!

 

I did the same on my front lip and it didn't turn out well but I've done the same on everything else I've painted (wheels, grill, rear chrome & plug cover) and they all came out fine.

 

 

 

Maybe wet for plastic dry for metal

 

Possible I suppose. It's definitely worth having a word with the pro's, 3gdean has some good advice, although as a pro he hates rattle cans.

Remember to "bake" the item you've sarayed for the specified time on the info sheet/side of can and at the specified temp, as this is what makes the lacquer "go off" and hardens it to provide a tough finish.

 

If you're using spray equipment to do it, remember you need

1.The primer

2. The colour/base

3. The lacquer and also the hardener that gets mixed with it too.

4. Good quality 2pk thinners to mix all the paint with.

5. The right temp to spray in, and draught free.

 

All will effect the final outcome of the spray job.

A mate of mine used his conservatory to bake his panels in once he'd sprayed and lacquered the parts, came out alright for spray cans and done in a garden! Had to wait for the decent weather mind!
