Thanks Drew for taking the time to make this video! It's everything I was hoping for, and more, in explaining how to apply pre-cat lacquer. I will use this video as a reference video, and will probably watch it a dozen times or so over the next few months. Thanks again for your easy to understand guide and explanation of your finishing technique Drew! Have a Great Day Buddy!

Make sure that if you use a pre-cat lacquer that you use a pre-cat or a vinyl sealer. This will provide you with a premium water resistant barrier under your coats of lacquer. If you use a standard sealer combined with a pre-cat lacquer then you will experience microfractures and you’re finish that will result in blushing when it comes in contact with water.

You are so welcome but if there’s one piece of advice that I can tell you that I have learned the hard way since making this video is to use a vinyl or a pre-catalyzed sealer if you choose to use pre-catalyzed lacquer. Also in the video you noticed that the pre-cat lacquer that I pointed to was cab acrylic which is not pre-cat lacquer. I just accidentally grabbed the wrong can in the video. Pre-catalyzed lacquer and cab acrylic are two totally different animals.

This video was /is great It answered a lot of the questions I had about spraying lacquer that I haven't been able to get answered, like how to care for your gun between coats, and is a sanding sealer necessary (some say its not), thinning ratios etc very well done.

Great video Drew. I’ve been wondering what the difference was between lacquer and pre-cat lacquer. Your point of starting with sanding sealer to increase smoothness of the finish was interesting. I’d never heard anyone point that out before. I also liked your suggestion on where to start on a piece because I’ve seen many videos showing people who start in the middle of a piece and at the bottom.

It’s not so much the financial picture that prevents me from doing this it’s mainly because my projects are very redundant and every time I film something I lose money because it requires double if not triple my time. Since all the projects that I do, like I said, are redundant, filming each one would get really old to everyone.

Good video, thanks. I fully understood why you start at the top on a vertical surface to avoid over spray. However, To follow the same principle on flat surfaces shouldn't you start next to yourself and work away from you towards the opposite edge. In your method he gun is pointing towards the already sprayed surface.
