up until now my home spraying has been on metal, and 9 times out of time I have used cellulose. However the time has come for me to address a few areas on a 98 Lotus that needs paint and lacquer. I assume its the same format, of flat it down, keep it super clean, etc and as there is paint on the car already I don't suppose it needs priming or does it ?
All advice gratefully received, whislt I have your attention, do I remember rightly that you can get clear coat already mixed ready to go, or does it also need thinning and a hardener ?

On the subject of flatting.... I have always used a rubber block and wet n dry.... but my mate introduced me to a hook and loop Velcro block. Used with a Velcro DA pad wrapped around it, its fantastic! one pad does a big area, and you can use them wet and dry. they stay perfectly in place and cut so well. here is the block I used.
