What happens here

After the first fog coat has dried completely (which the video notes happens quickly, in about 5-10 minutes for pre-catalyzed lacquer), prepare to apply the second, heavier coat. For this final coat, maintain a low sprayer pressure but move the sprayer at about half the speed of the first coat to lay down a thicker, more even film. Ensure nice, even strokes to avoid runs while achieving a full, gelled-out finish. This lacquer product does not require sanding between coats. Continue to wear your respirator and ensure good ventilation throughout this process.

Goal: Achieve a smooth, thick, and durable final lacquer finish

What they say

Hide

to dry in about 5 minutes. just it's only about been about 5 minutes. Our lacquer is completely dry and it's completely smooth. We've rubbed it with our hands. It's not rough at all. So, after the first coat, we can go ahead and put our second coat on. We're going to put a spray a little bit heavier coat on our second coat. We turned our pressure down on our 440 pretty low to minimize the overspray, minimize the smell of the lacquer in the house, too. We've got it down well below half pressure. So on the second coat, your first coat's basically a really light bob coat. Second coat you spray a little bit heavier is your final coat. We're using a brand new Rockx 310 fine finish tip on this thing.
