yeah wear a mask Free highs are not recommended

just apply thin coats is the only tip i've got really, everything else is simple

make sure your laquer is warm, and good preperation will see better results

Sand them down (key the surface)
Clean with thinners
Primer (3-4 coats)
Dry
Paint (however many coats needed)
Dry
Laquer
Then leave 24hrs to harden off

You thinking of doing it with rattle cans or with a spray gun?

I've done it both ways, flatting the paint before laquer gives a better shine.
