Do I?  
I had to spray an arch recentley on my 2.0 & I just rubbed it down, gave it a few coats of primer & then sprayed with the paint. Looks OK & you can't tell the differnce.
That was carabic blue, this time its red paint.
Help! I wanna try & get it done today

No m8 you dont need to laquer it cos carabic blue and red paint are a close enough match

no i didn't use laquer on flame red, but i noticed a small difference in colour cos obviously the original red had faded a little, but it didn't look too bad...

The whole car will be getting T-cutted anyway, hoping there wont be too much differance 
If not I'll have it mopped.
Wont it fade quicker without laquer?

laquer protects the paint.. like a film.

You should have laquered the blue, but the red can just be colour sanded flat once you have fininshed...

If you do laquer it though, leave the part in a warm room for 24 hours to cure the pait properly, then flat it out with some 1500 wet and dry using soapy water as a lubricant. Then polish it up using some cutting compound or Brasso.
