3 coats of laquer im in the middle of doing a full respray job on mine wiv 2k paint but i dont need laquer as diamond white is all in 1 but i understand when bl3onde says to much to dark and to less to light the way to get around this is do a coat at a time let it dry say 30 mins then have a look at it from all angles if it needs a bit more then spray again but do 1 coat at a time dont be tempted to rush another coat sraight after as thats were you get it to dark
