Lacquer On Aluminium

Yes, that's exactly what I've done - I haven't been in to check it today but looked OK last night.

 

Do you happen to know if lacquer is affected by temperature? It was about 6 degC in my garage last night and I also sprayed the lacquer on my newly-painted black wheelarch and it really dulled the original gloss black. Not checked this morning so maybe it's dried clearer but wasn't looking great last night...

not sure with all paints but cellulose for example doesn't like cold. It 'blooms' and goes milky white if it is cold or damp. Ideally try and get the temp up over 15 deg at least. Leave the spray can in the house to warm up as well (but not on anything really hot as you don't want it to explode =@ ) . You might have to cut back the paint you've already put on if it doesnt look good.

Ah, that's what's happened then... Thanks...
