YO ma homie's check dis.......

Been spraying with cans, and have sanded down handles and boot lock real smooth (orange peel all gone) then plastic primed, then filler primer, and then paint. Have sanded inbetween and all was going lovely....
then sanded paint to a matt finish, and laquered, but paint looks crap underneath the laquer from sanding, like its too sanded and looks scuffed...
did it with 1200 grit and lots of water.....
any help

You shoud rub it down with 1200 then clean it with meths - water or anything else is not enough... Then Laquer.

Cos thats the way I do it, dunno why though... My paint comes out pretty well. I don't do it all iver though, just where theres an imperfection. I'll try without next time though...

If you are actually using metallic paint it should go on flat, (matt), you then put the lacquer on after like 10 - 15 minutes or so, so that the lacquer binds with the paint.

I think another reason you rub down the base coat before applying clearcoat is to get rid of any bad areas, ie. dust etc. Because once the lacquer is on you can't do shit about the base coat.
