martin3df Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Does this help mate? LINK Clean with fairy liquid, give them a quick rough up with some wet and dry so the paint keys in ok. Do several thin coats of colour. Leave 24hrs, then do the same with the laquer. To be honest I'm not sure how neccessary the laquer is, but if you want to do it that I can't see you needing high temp laquer myself, just a normal gloss laquer would be fine I would have thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
