thanks for your advice Poppy, always tried to avoid painting pannels if i could help it
Hiya. Yes, you must really let the paint cure before applying the lacquer, then let that cure before polishing. It has to "harden" properly if you know what i mean. The only thing that i have found is that the lacquer that we buy off the shelves does not seem to be "hard" enough.....Not like what would be mixed and used in a spray booth. I have looked on the net before now and it seems that K2 lacquer is the best, but it is more expensive. Maybe put a search in and have a look.? You may come up with something you could pass onto me.
