The finish on my new race bike doesn't seem to be amzing Confused - so I was thinking a quick coat or two of lacquer would be good.

However, It's going to be loaded into a crate tomorrow morning to go to spain.

Any suggestions on what to use (that I will be able to get locally)?
It will be sprayed outside probably.

I wouldn't bother G.

The quality of finish you are likely to get, plus the time/cost involved it really isn't worth it. Rushing and spraying outside are two combinations guaranteed to mess up a paint job.

Yea, bendy suggested that in this weather (was worse than I was hoping) it'd probably just make it worse.

Cheers for the thoughts anyway Thumbs Up.

Yes outside not a good idea(i'm a sign sprayer).

Even if you think you done a good job, it will look patchy and would never go off.

Best is to find a shop with a spray booth and get them to use 2pack.

Did my single sea cowling and it came up a treat.

Try giving it a rub down with some fine cutting paste and a coat of wax.
