Primer or rather called sealer/ undercoater is also lacquer... Is a precatalized lacquer, so yes, mix lacquer with the hardener. Only once did I have issues with what's called alligator skin reaction, the homeowner had sprayed some cheap latex paint on handrails for touch ups, so when applied the sealer you could see the wrinkled paint and dried up as alligator skin......we sanded it all down, resealed it and no issues.

Yes, it's like a primer, basically spray that over any surface that you will be applying lacquer finish to, it ensures proper bonding of the final coat.

220 sand paper... worn out works best

Went from a stained to solid color. Lacquer is integrated color and sheen finish in same can.

@@davidswestcoastpainting8510 thanks very much for explaining. I’m looking at videos trying to find a good precat lacquer to spray a large white oak frame I just completed. In looking I just came across your video. Great result. Thanks again.

The Sherwin-williams paint company does have lacquer products like the sher-wood. Some stores carry it and some don't but they definitely sell lacquer. Ask for a sales representative as they have more knowledge than someone at the cash register...

@@davidswestcoastpainting8510 I found a store that carry gallery. Going to get it tomorrow.

I like using the Alex fast dry and Sherwin-williams 1050 quick dry

I think I used a 312 or 410

I think you refer to "fish eye" looks like small 🫧 bubbles but most pops leaving a 0 ring...either thin down or let dry, sand and recoat.

@@davidswestcoastpainting8510 can I send you a picture of the door

You should be okay to use extreme bond. However if the surface you are spraying has an existing paint that is oil, then use Shellac. Other wise you should be fine.

@@davidswestcoastpainting8510 Great thanks! Have you ever sprayed with it or emerald? It does say not to reduce but it would be impossible to shoot without thinning with water.

I think we used the Sherwin-williams lacquer and used the 410 fine finish green tip....

It's a special sprayer for Lacquer...look up the Titan ED655 plus. They work great, never brake down and will always deliver a great finish. Easy to setup and clean. I have a few other videos where I show the sprayer.

Thank you for getting back to me. I will buy one tomorrow. I’m doing my work old school with an air compressor and it gets tiring hauling it around and some times it takes a while to set up the hvlp and I’m limited on spray capacity. How do you clean yours if you don’t mind me asking also do you think the material? Have you ever sprayed clear lacquer with it?

@Juan Anguiano this is a game changer. It's easy to use, I clean with lacquer thinner and only spray lacquers with it. I have 2 sprayers. One for dark lacquer and the other for lite off whites and the clears. I clean them with lacquer and leave clean lacquer in the bucket at least 1qt and seal the lid with tape so it doesn't evaporate. I do use them constantly, so I'm not worried about rust or sticky parts. You can not go wrong with lacquer. It's a bit of trial and error if you don't have someone teaching you, but all can be fixed. Just keep air circulation on your job sites and no flames/smoking, etc, close to you when spraying.

Thanks for the tips. Any other tips i do have experience spraying lacquer paint and clear finish with hvlp guns. Do you thin the material at all I use vista paint lacquer clear and paint finishes I’ve been using them for about 2 years now. What would be your best tip in getting a fine finish for a first time user on airless? Thank you I really appreciate all your help. You should upload more videos you do great work brother.

i get it from Shilpark stores...i live in san diego California and we have a few stores.

Not using tape is for the lazy and the cheap. Be a pro....put the time and $ into it. Get pro results.

been a while on this video cant remember the primer/undercoater but its basically called undercoater (primer) and you can get different brands from mostly any paint company. always ask for undercoater and top coat.

Get it at any paint store or go online and look up ed 655 plus...roughly 8-900 dollars...well worth it

they should know, ask for a sales rep or manager, sometimes the guy at the front desk dont have much experience as the sales rep and manager therefor might not know all the product they sell. williams carries the aqua lacquer and regular nitro along with the Sherwood lacquer. hope this helps

Yes but caulking must be fully dry, usually over nigh, else it will crack very very soon rather than later.

Should I use siliconized or regular acrylic caulk ? For lacquer

Yes....undercoater 1st then the topcoat

Gel stains are definitely heavier pigmented/concentrated and will last longer without "aging" per say however it really also depends on the top coat & sun exposure. I used mixwax stain but a special marine coating that lasts years without flaking, cracking, or hazing away. Maintaining the doors is a must, or else one must refinish which is lots of work and expensive. Every 3-4yrs lite sanding and topcoat.

​@David's West Coast Painting thanks. I've purchased old masters gel stain and total boat spar varnish. But I really like the water base Minwax solid color stain I bought from lowes, but Minwax email & said not to use no matter what top coat.

@D R minwax water base solid color is like a paint, you will not see the wood grain but can be used directly without the need of a primer. What are you trying to achieve? Is it a door, fence or? Solid, semi-solid are usually water base but mostly used for fences, decks, gazebos etc...

@@davidswestcoastpainting8510 exterior side of wood doors( mahogany). Dont want a light tint to the stain. Tried 3 coats oil base penetrating, just didn't get dark enough to make look black. Want the solid paint look but without painting . Want to be able to tell it's a real wood door

@D R why don't you try Ebony or dark walnut or a combination of both or one coat after the other.....

Run clean Lacquer Thinner.

@@davidswestcoastpainting8510 thanks!

Use a vinyl sealer or Shellac primer from zinsser. Can't go wrong either one

they are rare but there are so many out still, just some owners don't drive them since they are such a gem...

Thanks for info

I use a variety of lacquers, why? shortages have driven me to use all and makes me more practical. I use alot of mohawk and axalta/Gemini. Hvlp is great for touchups but if you are doing kitchens and bigger projects then might want to consider the ED655 Plus by Titan. It's great sprayer and can make u lots of $$

@@davidswestcoastpainting8510 thanks I was just curious what most pros use since I'm fairly new to solvent based products. I'm planning to use waterborne laquer products to cut the smell down since my shop is small and not the greatest air flow. I hear they are just as good if not more durable. not sure if you use those or solvent only.

@@DRV_Woodworks I have used William's Aqua Chem and must say I'm impressed with the way it flows and dries..smell is for sure less and clean up is water 💧 👌 but I still clean up with regular lacquer...it's best as they claim it's a none yellowing in the long run and its resistant to scuffs and hot/cold or even long time water marks...spill water and forget to clean it it's a problem....but I stick to the 550voc as they are great

Some clients want it caulked...client is always ✅️....I do get you though...

Sup KR...video is not that old man..and yes the lacquer comes white or any color you like it all depends where u go buy it and if they Tint them. Almost every paint stores carries lacquers although some stores will not custom Tint them but they will most likely refer you to one of their stores that does. Lacquer comes in any color you'd like and in abfew sheens (shininess) matte, satin, semi-gloss, gloss and piano high gloss....it's a great product.

@@davidswestcoastpainting8510 thanks for replying so fast this helps

It is super easy but that's cause I've been at it for some 20+yrs....good luck with the flips....retirement? What's that? Lol

Still on them...but this is a single turbo supra....those twin are reliable and fun....double the power and engine bay still looking stock

Thank you!

I am using a Titan ED655+ with regular contractor gun and fine finish 410/412 tip. The sprayers are sold at any williams or dunn edwards stores but i am sure Amazon has them too for maybe $900-$1K. Reliable.

@@davidswestcoastpainting8510 love the finish, thank you
