Apply Topcoats with HVLP

What happens here

Once the primer/surfacer is dry, apply two thin, even topcoats of catalyzed lacquer. When spraying lacquer, the subsequent coats 'melt into' the previous one, creating a seamless, unified finish that self-levels. This means sanding between lacquer topcoats is generally not required unless there are imperfections. Ensure adequate drying time between coats as recommended by the product manufacturer. For vertical surfaces like cabinet doors, a common technique is to hang them during spraying to achieve an even coating and allow for proper drying without drips or pooling. Adjust the HVLP sprayer settings (air pressure, material flow, fan pattern) based on the product's viscosity and the surface being sprayed. Start with low air pressure and low material, and a smaller fan pattern for detailed areas, adjusting as needed.

Goal: Apply two topcoats of catalyzed lacquer using an HVLP sprayer, ensuring proper drying times between coats for a durable and professional-grade finish.
