Looks like I am being proven wrong. I have never had good luck with lacquer on rc bodies and I have never had any luck with bare metal on full size cars. I guess with my technique I really need a nice primer coat. I have recently switched to urethane primer for a 1962 c10 I am doing right now. I love the high build and it is very easy to sand. Can't wait to try it out on a 1963 corvette we just started sanding. Glad the lacquer seems to work for you but for me it doesn't do well at all. Never really liked shooting it. If you have any tips for lacquer on lexan I would love to hear them. I would like to try it out.
