Day 2: Adding some color After the primer was allowed to cure overnight, I started with the first coat of color - black lacquer. Layering is very important when using any spray paint, but especially lacquer.
The best way to get started is with a light misting, making sure you keep moving and hit every area, then repeat until the primer is completely coated. Lacquer dries quickly, so you can keep moving around and by the time you hit each surface of the frame, the area you started should be dry enough to re-coat. Lacquer can be sanded down after it completely dries, so if you really screw up, just stop and go back to it later after a light sanding.
After a first coat, I let it dry overnight.
Next, I'll work on getting decals printed.
