LoopyLing Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 I've been supplied couple of cans of Yellow from VW for my car, but for D's Fanatasia Green they gave me a can of Green and a can of lacquer. Does this mean my yellow doesn't need lacquer over the top? The initial finish does appear quite shiny, without lacquer! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 i suspect you should need laquer on it although am not sure. check with vw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max69vk Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Depends on what kind of paint it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_M Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 It should need lacquer if it is a standard colour/paint.Gloss paints are about 70% lacquer and satin about 40% lacquer so none of these need a lacquer coat on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArosaPD Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Much like has already been said really. The green that you got supplied will just be base coat and will require laquering too, but the yellow will not. Typical VW, giving you two different paint types eh. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
