Does anyone still shoot lacquer anymore? If you don’t have the luxury of a lab-like dust-free space and need a paint that is not as fickle as urethanes or ChromaBase etc lacquer seems a good choice to me since you have to rub it out anyhow, if the worse happens and some gnat ends up in the top coat he will get rubbed out of it. Plus the deep color it has (the paint not the gnat).

what about respraying the car factory color.
my rio red is faded in some spots, has some dings. i was gonna fill the dings, scuff the hole car. do i need to lay down primer on the whole car? Or can i just primer the filled spots, scuff car and then lay my base color over that?96 PGT

But yes, you could repair the dings, prime, make sure you feather the edges really well.
The whole car certainly doesn't need primer. I usually use 800 wet if I'm going to spray color over non-repaired areas. If you're going to blend the repaired areas and simply clear the rest then 1500 wet is a good choice.
A lot of people preach against wetsanding cause it's so "time consuming" and prefer stuff like 600 random orbital.2005 BMW r1200GS - fully dressed adv machine

Rio red is a tri color, you'd be better off priming the whole car since reds are very transparent, and any discrepancies under the color will show. Trust me, prime the whole car. I forget what primer color to use, I think it is grey.I think it's an obsession!

all my books say three. Any red is hard to paint, yellows are the hardest to match and the rest fall into their respective category.I think it's an obsession!

No variation that I found had it with 3 different base coats.

Yes that is what I mean by a tri coat. I suppose I could have been more specific.I think it's an obsession!
