Thanks for all the good advice on Maaco. It seems like the general feeling is not to use Maaco. So I think I will try to paint the car myself. It also seems like the general opinion is not to use the

Maaco, or like places are not bad. You just get what you pay for. I guess that the $400 you pay there would usually buy the sandpaper, primers, and a few other things to get you started for a real pa

The normal caveats first... I'm not a professional and my suggestion is dated (was using 10 or 15 years ago). With that said... I like lacquer a lot (especially for beginners)... but don't like that

Did you mean to say "some coats of lacquer may need to be sanded and then buffed after the final coat is applied"? The buffing compound leaves residue that is not conducive to paint adherence. have

Matt's right. What I did mean was that lots of coats will have to be color sanded before the final buffing. All this misunderstanding could have been avoided if you had simply listened to what I MEAN

Matt I agree, one other point I've never seen a good enamel paint job done by anyone except an expert. There are too many variations in pressure, mixture, speed etc. that effect to luster and depth o

To get a really really really great job sand between coats, to get a good good job just keep going around the car coat after coat (about 6 to 8 times) then sand only once. Figure an hour or so to pai

I'm sure to be flamed for this, but -- Please excersize caution, modern paint systems are highly carcinogenic. Before you start spraying anything, contact the manufacturer and ask about necessary sa

If the clear coat goes on well (good flow, no hint of orange peel), buffing will give provide a glassy finish. If not, a light sanding before buffing will get you a lot closer to the smooth finish. C

I like the idea of clear coat has anyone else tried it on lacquer? It would be especially helpful in areas that are hard to buff such as the engine bay or door edges. ...Art

This discussion about the merits of lacquer vs. enamel is very interesting but I'm not aware we can even buy lacquer. The suppliers here seem to offer four grades of product: economy (enamel), better

When we painted our tri**h a lot of years ago, we used lacquer followed by clear coat, and it came out great. But as has been said, I don't think you can even get lacquer any more, at least not acco

I think in California you can buy lacquer in some counties but not in others (smog zoning related). My last visit to a local paint store, was just before it was made illegal locally and I don't remem
