I understand you can spray it right out of the can...no additives, reducers, etc. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 169 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 169 | Lacquer regardless of who makes it what the price is a junk product that simply wout withstand the weather and time. Expect about 1yr lifespan with a lacquer based paint before its dead. There are tons of cheap alternatives to lacquer that are far better. Enamel based products, synetic or acrylic being the better. Even cheaper based urethane products. Lacquer is STILL very much dangerous to your health. Nice read on the duplicolor paint system...Eric http://www.hotrodders.com/forum/dupli-color-paint-shop-auto-paint-lacquer-114968.html | | | | | Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 866 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 866 | My 1975 Corvette still has the original lacquer red paint job on it. It has held up for 32 years, sure it is not a modern basecoat/clearcoat finish,but it still looks great. Most of the vehicles of the 50"s, 60's and 70's were lacquer painted. Can't tell you if Duplicolor is a good quality lacquer though. It is dangerous to the painter though. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 169 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 169 | The reason the old lacquer paint jobs can look good yet is because it contains lead. Lead has been removed from paint nowdays. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 176 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 176 | I would go with a single stage enamel if your going on the cheap.
