Just by using a normal laquer you'll achieve a gloss finish and then use good quality auto polish or mr sheen to get it mirror like

That's the thing though, I have a problem with laquers.

The last time I did it, even though it was a gloss laquer, I always ended up with a fine matt mist on the surface.

I just sprayed many thin layers of laquer, I went through 2 cans but I still had that fine powdered surface, not smooth and glossy.


I.e. If you hold the can 3 inches away and hold down the sprayer until the paint runs you'll get a nice glossy smooth finish, but if you do it properly using thin layers you never seem to get the glossy finish, just a matt powdery surface.

Any ideas?

I thought if you wanted the black to shine get a gloss black spray paint then it will shine.

Or you can leave it matte and polish with WD40

WD40 your meant to wipe off when dry I believe, or else it will be greasy.

And when you wipe it off it's just matt.


I think I'll spray matt laquer and forget the gloss as the standard factory model also has matt fairings.

yeah, if you leave it on it'll attract all the dust and shit around
