yes that is arden blue, and no you dont necessarily need lacquer, all depends on what type of paint you are using, with regular cellulose you do, with 2pack you dont

U cant get a 2k basecoat/pearl

and saying as celly paint is hardly used by any1 these days i doubt its that either...

so the simple answer is yes it needs lacquer. It might be slightly shiney cos its wet

Well i purchased half a litre of nautilus which is pearlescent and that was a 2k basecoat.

Just speaking from experience. and celli paint is probably used by the majority of DIY sprayers for small jobs.

maybe i am totally wrong but im sure thats what i got.

you cant get arden blue in cellulose, only 2 pac paint. and yeah you do need to lacquer arden blue.

just cos ots 2k doesnt mean you dont need to lacquer it

you get 2 kinds of 2k paint, basecoat which all pearls ,metallics are and you get a direct gloss colour as in a straight blue, green ,white etc which you mix with hardner and thinners and spray on and it doesnt need lacquer.
basecoat ,mixes with basecoat thinners,goes on , and dries matt then you put the lacquer over the top of it which gives it its shine

Corsa crazy-how did you mix it spray it?
you didnt mix the basecoat with hardner and thinners and spray it did you?? only way i can think of how you could get a shiny finish with just basecoat.

erm i very much doubt you can buy it in cellulose and you defo cant get it in 2k
simple answer, yes it will need laquer, it shouldnt be shiny without it.
