id imagine so what you spraying?
Punto/Clio GTT
is it metallic?
depends how you paint it, if its solid then you can paint it either way, either high solid or basecoat/laquer

all will be revealed
its a solid colour, excue my ignorance but whats the differences?
Punto/Clio GTT
just different ways of painting it
if its a solid colour it dont *need* laquer, you can just paint it in high solid 2k, basically a paint thats got laquer mixed in with it and it hardens solid. from renault im sure they will paint them 2 stage (basecoat/laquer) being water based
either way, the colour will be exactly the same, just different ways of painting them

laquer on the black looks VERY dry unless you havnt primered them? if i was you id give it all a few coats of laquer to give it a nice shine
spray it all black, let that dry, write the red lettering, let that dry, then laquer the lot is how id have done it

dont be shy with the laquer mate, give it good wet coats

yea, you dont dust it on, you dust the paint on to build up the colour.
laquer, especially single pack has to go on wet or it dries very orange peely.

when did you laquer it? if its within 24 hours or so you can just laquer straight over it without wetflatting
if you have some wetordry paper, just give the laquer a slight wetflat so its smooth, then relaquer it

Firstly were gonna be spraying on the basecoat. This should be dusted on from around 6 inches away from your item.
Keep the coats long and even and dont put it on too wet . We're trying to get the colour right, were not trying to get a finish, this comes with the laquer.
Spray your edges first and any awkward areas, then do long even sprays across your panel.
Keep building up your basecoat until your happy that you have the right colour and that you have a nice even finish. It can then be put somewhere to dry for 30 minutes or so.
*note* Basecoats usually dry very fast but it can be dependant on a number of factors, such as weather, the ammount of paint you used and whether or not your applying heat.
DO NOT laquer an item while the basecoat is still wet, the laquer will pull it down and cause a dragging effect.
Now the basecoat is completely dry, we can now go and laquer it. Give your item another wipe over to ensure its dust-free, in bodyshops they generally use tak-rags which im sure you can get from your local car spares shop but it isnt essential.
Spray your laquer on pretty wet, keeping the coats very even. You should generally aim for 2-3 good coats. leaving 10-20 minutes between each coat.
