Hi guys, can you laquer satin black, just sprayed my wheels and want a bit of shine, didnt think you should laquer them but what would happen if i did ? just give them a bit of reflection ? Any pics of satin black with laquer ?

If they've been done a while, you may need to lightly key the paint surface so the laquer will take to it.

and make sure your laquer is slightly warm. If its a cold can, it will go white, then you'd be gutted lol!

I would say its similar to when i did matt black. My dash parts are matt black unlaquered where as my door handles (inside) i did matt black and then laquered them as they take a bashing - they came out gloss black ish. Pics in my garage me thinks.
