Thanks again guys for the insight Anybody checked the web link to supplier on my post above to see if it is old technology laquer that I am using, Its the auto safe type I order, I guess it must be because it is listed on the web site as laquer and not clear coat. Is my base coat acrylic? it comes with special thinners That Has a very sweet smell as apose to celluloiuse thinners Not as strong smelling either. I succesfully colour coded my sunroof pannel and my scuttle panel below windscreen using my base laquer combo and they have both come up very shinny and especially after flatting down to a mirror finish using 1200 and soapy water then compounding and polishing
