As you can see I have made the lettering and graphics from using detailing masking tape

It's all 2 pack, I'm not sure about laquer might just buff it up after see what it's like. I'm not really after a glass finish

You should get each coulor mixed up in a base coat spray can then laquer it. Bit more work but the end result would be nicer/smoother.

More work don't you think I have enough lol. I could do with are IR lamp to speed drying times.
This attemp was to see if I could achieve it. Clearly I can lol.
As for basecoat It always to seems to go wrong for me i don't know why
