Whats the best Lacquer people have used.
#1
Halfords stuff I think is crap.

Pug stuff is really good, but tiny cans and expensive.

What are people's opinions. Will be used on interior bits and pieces.
#2
lol i use cheap stuff from the range spot on imo

I usually find clear is best.

Halfords sell some along side there wheel refurb paint which is miles better than their standard stuff.

Just a point...lacquer should be applied in a warm environment. I know all paint should but t makes more of a difference with lacquer.
I've never had a problem with the cheap halfords stuff but I find the wheel stuff better.

Boggo halfords stuff is fine IMO but I now tend to use Glasurit or genrock 2K stuff through a gun unless its only little bits Wink

It does the job fine, you just have too put enough on for it to level properly and not so much that it runs which is a bit of a fine balancing act in my experience, lol
