Well John it would appear to be a product for a specific purpose and that is to slow down the fast setting times of a true lacquer and it is supposed to be Cellulose based, I know for sure you cannot add ordinary thinners to Cellulose paint I tried this one time, I would doubt if you can do it the other way around but this may be possible? However I could not help but to think if there is a way to improve paints and make them especially good for adhering to metal, why has this not been done, the manufacturers could charge a premium price for this.

It might just have been it appeared [to me] to work well because it was bloody hot here when they we're working... anyway it looks ok - still need to go around and touch up the few bit's they missed

Perfection is something I've come to accept I'm not going to find here

I've never seen the paint they used before... it was a little strange - it came in two parts - big tin with the paint and a small tin with the catalyst - somewhere a long the line they added the "laquer" ... cannot imagine it is ph witchcraft but you never know

Sounds like they used a two part Epoxy paint, very good for most metals. But never heard of adding lacquer in the epoxy paint before.

It's better i

If you make them give it two coats, that way it's almost impossible to miss any. Should give it two coats anyway. BTW I looked at the link you posted. It's not a Lacquer. LESCO Lacquer Flo 350cc • for lacquer-based clear liquid paint • used to delay drying of lacquer paints.

Hehe... as mentioned previously, definitely a tosher myself, thought laquer was what they put on the bamboo but at P20 a bottle I just went and got a couple of bottles

Don't go sniffing it.
