You like to suffer the friction burns? haha :-p

there spot on :)

Those look proper good...well done!

when using rattle can lacquer, use as much as possible.

I usually go with 1 can per wheel...works for me.

lol @ friction burns :-p:badgrin:

Spraying wednesday with a bit of luck! done by thursday if i dont have work.

Do i apply the lacquer the same as the paint? from side to side?

:-D :thumbsup:

Yeah, apply same as paint/primer. Youll notice that it comes out of the can different to paint and primer though, so adjust speed/motion accordingly :-)

And as said, more laquer the better :unibrow:
