Any one used clear lacquer
« on: 22 September 2013, 11:38:12 am »
I had this post up in the general section but got no offers. So thought I would ask here as someone is bound to of used it on their forks after polishing.
I am looking for recomendations for clear lacquer as I have polished my gear change leaver and it is just steel so needs proctecting

I have resprayed my Toyota truck alloys with Halfords rattle tin heavy duty wheel paint and the fine sanded them to a matt finish and used their Heavy duty wheel Laquer, it covers very well, did about 3 coats,maybe this will do the job.


Its whether you will get a good key to a polished finish.
