i recently painted my interior trim silver to match my exterior. after a few coats of paint i put a few coats of clear coat on. it looks good, BUT.......the clear coat didnt really leave the smooth surface i was looking for and seems to scratch very easily. SO, my question is what should i use? stick with the clear coat? or what about lacquer? i know that stuff is really tough and leaves more of a smooth glossy surface....so can someone please tell me what i should use to protect the paint job. thanks a lot.....

Sand with 800+ sand paper, wash off (remove oil), do another coat. Let it sit for 24 hours (minimum) and repeat. I'd do 3-4 layers if you want it to be nice and protected. -TC -------------------- Live your life for yourself. Don't hold back for anything or anyone.
