FAQs
Can I use this over any paint type?
It is designed for use over most automotive base coats, but you should always conduct a test patch to ensure compatibility.
How long should I wait between coats?
Allow 5 to 10 minutes between coats depending on the ambient temperature and humidity levels.
Do I need to sand the surface before applying?
The base coat should be flat and clean; if the surface is rough, lightly sand with fine-grit sandpaper before applying the lacquer.
Is this lacquer UV resistant?
Yes, it is formulated to provide high-quality protection against UV damage and environmental elements.
Can I polish this lacquer after it dries?
Yes, once fully cured, the finish can be machine or hand polished to reach an even higher level of gloss.
Troubleshooting
Spray nozzle is sputtering or clogging.
Invert the can and spray for 3-5 seconds to clear the nozzle, or replace the tip if the issue persists.
The finish looks dull or has 'orange peel' texture.
Ensure you are using the correct spray distance and avoiding excessive temperatures; apply thinner coats to allow for better leveling.
Lacquer is running on the vertical surface.
Apply thinner coats and increase the travel speed of your hand across the surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before application, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from any contaminants like wax or grease. Shake the canister vigorously for at least two minutes until the mixing ball rattles freely to ensure the formula is properly blended. It is compatible with most standard automotive base coats, but always perform a test spray on a scrap piece of metal to verify compatibility and spray technique. Store the can in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. To maintain the nozzle after use, turn the can upside down and spray for several seconds until the clear lacquer stops appearing, which prevents the tip from clogging.
