the pros of lacquerare the colors are phenomenal, and the vanes stick to it like crazy, i mean like crazy.

the cons - good gosh does it smell.

again, get the cd, or i can send you mine. you really want to thin everything out. saves paint, saves grains, and you can get your lines finer. check out the metallic colors, like silver and gold, but also jade, plum, blue. they're sweet.

if you noticed in the spray cresting video, if you saw it, he said to stick the vanes to the lacquered area. i did this wrong, and stuck them to the enamel area. some vanes stuck ok, but none stuck well. they stick much better if they have lacquer - even if its white spray pt. i don't know why.

i really wish you could spray pt white lacquer and then crest with lacquer, but the thinner used to thin the paints melts the spray paint. it turns into a mess.
