the clearcoat is laquer yes, but not what you get at halfords, sometimes the paint from the factory has the basecoat and clearcoat all in one mix

2k paint ideally but you wont get that from halfords, if it was me id want the whole bumper sprayed at a bodyshop as it will probably stand out a mile

that will be after the holidays

I will get it done again completely and get the car a good mop.

I want to go for tuning mods first rather than cosmetics (which will be done later)

Simple test if your ever not sure - get some T-cut and polish a spot - any paint that comes off the colour of the car means there's not clearcoat/lacquer .
