lacquering is so easy, im guessing you spray it on right?

lacquer = high gloss paint shit. like you see on those japanese black tables with the pearl inlay ... (the black part obviously)

like this;

you can get a really nice mirror finish if you do it right.

i don't get it. my hivi tmm towers were MUCH better than these. and that primer blew even worse. like i put it on and it looked great then i came back 30mins later and it was horrible.

what exactly are you using

kilz oil based interior primer (stain blocker shit or something) and rustoleum specialty lacquer. i asked over at diyaudio.com and they said to use car lacquer instead..

i work at an unfinished furnature store , are you scuffing between coats of laquer ?

are they thick enough ? try some high gloss polyurethane its way easier to work with , use the foam spongue brushes to elimate brush marks

yesss forgot to meation, you need to scuff sand with liek 320 after every coat, i even do the last coat then use a tack cloth and rub the shit out of it, i use sanding sealer right after its stained before i lacuer it, usually works well
