FAQs
Can this be used over any paint?
It is designed for use over automotive base coats; always test compatibility on a small hidden area first.
Is sanding required after application?
While the finish is high-gloss out of the can, fine wet-sanding and polishing can be performed once the lacquer has fully cured to remove any minor imperfections.
How long does it take to dry?
Drying times vary by temperature and humidity, but the surface is generally touch-dry within 20-30 minutes and fully cured within 24 hours.
What safety equipment should I wear?
Always wear an organic vapor respirator, nitrile gloves, and eye protection in a well-ventilated area.
Can I use this for non-automotive items?
Yes, it provides a durable gloss to many surfaces, though it is specifically formulated for automotive durability standards.
Troubleshooting
Lacquer looks cloudy or hazy (blushing)
Usually caused by high humidity during application. Avoid spraying in damp conditions.
Spray nozzle clogging
Invert the can and spray for 3-5 seconds after each use to clear the internal tube.
Orange peel effect on the finish
Ensure you are holding the can at the correct distance and moving at a consistent speed. Avoid spraying when the surface is too hot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation is vital for a successful finish. Before application, ensure the base coat is fully cured and free of any dust, wax, or silicone contaminants. Use a tack cloth immediately before spraying to ensure the surface is pristine.
Compatibility-wise, ensure your base coat is compatible with solvent-based lacquers. After use, invert the aerosol can and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle; this prevents clogging for future use. Store the can in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures to maintain the pressure and chemical integrity of the lacquer.
