Re: lacquer primer and base coat?
I bought some lacquer thinner and give it a little wipe. It is lacquer primer put on over 25 years ago and the truck has been kept inside our home shop all these years. I think it is PPG brand but cannot verify. I have begun working on the body again and now need primer. Dad and I did body and paint over 40 years ago, so I am experienced spraying enamel and lacquer. Refinishing products are way different now days. And way more expensive!

Yeah Boog, I bought some clear and hardner and a half pint of tri coat pearl[two stages] and it was like 280 for my sisters mirror cover on her 19 Denali. I'm talking half pints too. Yikes! Jim

Re: lacquer primer and base coat?
Also being inside changes most of what was said up above. If I had two I would spray some reduced epoxy primer MP282[ Omni is made by PPG but a bunch cheaper] I have sprayed hundreds of gallons of that stuff and love it. If you put some MR 186 [that medium reducer] that changes the primer to a nonsandable sealer then after that you could spray your base coat then clear. Spraying bc/cc is easy as spraying a primer you can do it!!!

Re: lacquer primer and base coat?
Yeah, with the costs of painting supplies now days, I don't want to have to do it over. I'll paint a fender or something as a test when that time comes.
I need to paint the body side moldings on our 09 Yukon right now but have been putting it off and the wife's reminders are getting meaner every time. Gotta get those done too. Thanks.
