TIP:

Matte lacquer and dark colours. If using the matte lacquer over dark colours sometimes you may get a "cloud" look. This doesn't happen over mid or light paint colours, or with the satin or gloss. To avoid this you can decant the lacquer you are using and tint it with a small amount of your paint in the same colour, and this will avoid this issue as it tones into your paintwork.
