[TR] Lacquer Paint?

[Joe Curry]

Bill,
It all depends on the mixture of that particular paint.  You might be able
to find on the shelf a compatible clear coat.  But being in California and
knowing how particular their laws are concerning paint, you need to be very
careful that whatever you use is going to both hold up and also be
compatible with any clear coat you use.

IUt would be a very good idea to test spray something that isn't a critical
part to make sure that you have a good match.  Even professional paint shops
sometimes get strange orange peel or cracking patterns from paint
interactions.

Subject: [TR] Lacquer Paint?

     I've been considering painting by TR3 steel hard top with a rattle can
on spray gloss lacquer from Home Depot. The top will be utilitarian and not
a show piece obviously. What happens with lacquer when it isn't clear
coated? Does it oxidize if it is kept waxed? Is there a spray paint clear
coat that I can use?
     TIA,

     -Bill in Tehachapi
