Clear coat Lacquer or Enamel?? - 5/5/2008 6:58:22 PM    JohnB445 Posts: 262 Joined: 7/3/2007 Status: offline I have painted cars before, but never used a clear coat. Any opinions on which is better lacquer or enamel. I am coating over metallic acrylic. I read lacquer gives a better shine, but enamel is a harder finish and holds up better. < Message edited by JohnB445 -- 5/6/2008 4:39:36 AM > Post #: 1
