| − | + | Lacquer has been used for many years in the hobby, and is used in a few restorations where the correct paint type will award/deduct points from a car. HOWEVER, due to V.O.C. requirements, the use of lacquer paints are becoming less and less welcome in most areas, and is actually illegal in most metropolitan areas. It is old technology, and is pretty much a dinosaur of the paint world. | |

| − | + | There were and still are many good looking lacquer paint jobs out there. One of the pros is that it dries extremely hard with a quick drying time. THIS IS A FALSE MYTH. Lacquer never fully dries. If you spill gasoline on it, or many under-the-hood chemicals as used in the hobby, you will ruin your lacquer paint. Urethane enamel has replaced lacquer for a very good reason. It is much more durable. AND is more environmentally friendly than lacquer. Waterborne is the next wave of technology to lower painting emissions even further. | |
| − | + | You WILL NEED to sand and buff the whole project to get a smooth, shiny finish. If somebody is helping you spray it, they can know that modern lacquers will basically spray the same as the old lacquers. If you spray lacquer clear; the clear coat, (as long as it is a quality product) will be easier to control. | |
| − | + | You will need at least the same amount of thinner as you do paint to do a lacquer paint job. | |
