i just gave it abit of a polish with a dry cloth and it does look shiny, but in sum places its like a mirror and in some places its abit dull.

im gunna get more laquer and do a few more coats so that its really thick all over

[nelds]

dont over buff it until it's had about a week to go off

[vdub virgin]

probly cos ur advising me on somthing u know nuthin about   
time of the month dude?
wat u doin with ur spare set of bumpers?
putting them on ebay advertised as "good condition"? lol!
give em a polish in a couple of days n c wat they turn out like 

[golfmk31993]

yea im guna get some more laquer and give them another coating, cos i think some bits are covered more than others,,,

ill let you know how it goes

[golfmk31993]

i just used another 500ml tin of laquer on it,

to be honest i think laquer is more hastle than its worth,  to get it to be a nice shiny finish you have to put it on thick all over, but its so thin it just runs everywere,

if u just do thin coats on top of each other it goes cloudy and looks crap,

wish id just left it without laquer, wasnt as shiny but looked a nice smooth finish, now i just got runs all over the pace wich look sh!te.

im hoping once its dry properly i can use somthing like tcut to remove a layer of laquer, thus removing the runs

[Paul86S2]

Leave it a week to cure properly, then rub it down flat with very fine wet and dry, then two thin coats in a warm environment. If its still not shiny leave it another week to cure and then go over it gently with T cut until you get a good shine.
You should only really lacquer paint thats meant to be laquered.
I hope you keyed the paint surface before you applied the lacquer otherwise it will peel off in no time.

Good luck

Cheers

i didnt touch the paintwork with anything except water before i applied laquer,


i just looked at it and it looks really good now its dried, really shiny and even.

so have i wasted my time then , will it just peel off straight away??

ok i just unmasked the bumper and it looks aewsome, all the spots that had slightly run have gone, and the whole bumper looks really shiny, i can see my face in it with great detail. i compared it next to my car and the colour match is unreal, it looks spot on, and everyone told me that red will never be a good match

im just hoping that the paint will last and not just flake off into a mess, but only time will tell

ive brought the bumper inside in the warmth to cure it properly, ill post pics of it tonight when my mum brings back my camera
