dont forget to smooth off the plastic coz it has a 'dimple' effect!! and t'is ok to sand down paint to smooth finish and slap the laquer on

Only smooth the paint before lacquer if there is some dust or bad areas, if its ok then leave it

and when spraying the laquer, do one thin coat and then a wet (thick coat) dont do lots of thin ones cos it wont be as shiny.
