Stoney871 Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Try more layers of lacquer, that's what adds the depth to the shine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loz Cheung Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Did you use primer? When I resprayed my bumper I had to resand every single coat I applied before adding another. Arduous but it had to be done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEADS Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 i would ask a experienced sprayer as i know some of them thin out the laquer on the final coat with thinners thats of course if there doing it with a spray gun .out of cans id say like above cut it back then buff .
