To lacquer or not to lacquer . . .
« on: 29 August 2005, 20:45 »
 . . . that is the question!!!

Just sprayed some steelies satin black, and was wondering if I should lacquer them? Would this give them too much of a gloss finish, and would they be ok without lacquer???

Opinions please!

Cheers,

Tim

it'd give them a gloss finish, if you want to keep the satin black you'd be best leaving them alone. can you get a matt finish laquer?

I did look but only found the normal lacquer. Really want to keep the satin finish as think it looks great, but will it last ok?
