I painted my bike using, etch primer, bright white paint, basecoat the laquer. That's was about 2 weeks ago, can I just spray more lacquer over the top of it?
 
sand it over with some 1200 wet n dry until you have a matt finish when the water dries
then spray some good thin coats of clear over it
 
Wet sand with 1500 Wet & dry first,then you'll be fine :D

BTW how much of the etch primer did it take to prime your frame? I'm going to be using this to do my Lavadome with?
I'm assuming you used 500 ml spray cans?
Cheers

Rich :D
 
I've been to the paint shop I bought it from and they say it should be fine.

I think I only used one 500ml can. I used the U-Pol Etch Primer (not acid etch) and did frame, forks, stem x3.
The Halfords stuff is terrible.

So it's clear, that still does not tell me if you are spaying enamel or lacquer?
 
As above.Key the surface by uniformly sanding it back with 1000 grit W&D
I say uniformly because i want you to understand that you need to pay close attention and make sure you sand all of it .Dont miss a spot or the new material wont adhere(or may not adhere rather ;))

No idea!
How do I tell the difference?
