Since my tech 1 side skirts were allready in primer when i bought them i decided to give them a go myself to reduce costs, ive painted them and it looks really good, however it needs some laquer to get a good shine.

a straight colour out of the can can give decent finish. it shouldnt need lacquer as its not a base and clear paint system

the first coat had a shiney finsh but after a few more the shine went, i used laquer on my alpina snow plough and that came up really shiney however it possibly could of been better if i wet and dried it firstKos wrote:a straight colour out of the can can give decent finish. it shouldnt need lacquer as its not a base and clear paint system
